1. History
It is year 2XX1. Mr. Wile and his army of thugs has taken control of the city. The Police is powerless. There is nothing no-one can do. Except one. Sludge, fomer member of Mr. Wile's gang must stop his plans and avenge the punishment he got when he left the gang...
2.System requirements
You need Win 95 and a pentium processor to play this game. I don't know the minimum processor speed that is required, but I made the game in a computer with 233 Mhz processor speed and it works without getting slow. To make the game look good, you must have 640/480 resolution and True Color (32-bit) graphics. If you have 24-bit as True Color you must have it set to High Color (16-bit) graphics. True Color 24-bit makes the game look odd. 8-bit graphics makes the game look odd or not start at all. The resolution doesn't matter but if you want the game to cover the whole screen you must have 640/480 resolution.
3. Installing the game
Put all the files in the same folder and install the three fonts Scottn, Finalnew and Crille in your font folder at the Control Panel. Now you can start the program SETUP.EXE. First choose "�ndra grafikdrivrutiner" (Change Graphics drivers). There, choose "Optimerade Drivrutiner" (Optimized drivers (it's recommended to choose this, or the game may look odd)). The game will now quit, but it has your graphic driver choise remembered, so you just have to start the program again but this time you choose "Installera Sludge" (Install Sludge). Choose the directory you want the game in and press OK. The game is now installed and there is a shortcut to the game in your Start Menu. Now you can start playing.

5. Game Instructions

It is a good thing to know what all the commands in the menu does with the game. I will explain all that now.

Hide/Show the Menu - Hides or shows the menu. This can even be done by pressing F8
Help - Has no function in the game. This is the only help you can get.
About - Shows the creator of the game.
Choise of stage
Here is the choise screen. To play a stage you just have to click with the mouse on the thug you want to fight. When the stage is cleared you will meet that thug. When he is defeated you will get a password. When you are back at the choise screen, right-click on the thug you defeated. You must now choose the right password or you must fight him again. If you chooses right the thug will dissapear. When all thugs are gone you can go to Mr. Wile himself. But there is a thing you have to remember. You can only meet Mr. Wile if the thugs are removed in a special order. The order is GIRK, MACK, DICK and MARK. If they are removed in another order Mr. Wile won't show up and you must restart the game and try again. When you have defeated all thugs it is a good thing to open this help file and learn the order.
