Hints and Tips As you play through the first five scenarios, a gameplay tip will occasionally appear on screen. These tips serve as prompts to help you move along in the game. Scenario Description Click on the first scenario, called Starting Out, and then select a difficulty level. The information on the right side of the screen describes your objective for that scenario. CONTROLLING THE ACTION USING YOUR MOUSE Single Left-click: Use to select an item -- anything from a city block, to an individual business, to a menu option. Simply move the cursor over the relevant object and single-click with the left mouse button. Note: The cursor will change shape (pointer, block or building), depending on the object it is over. Winning Cups Each of the difficulty levels has a trophy cup associated with it: Easy ­ Bronze Cup; Medium ­ Silver Cup; Hard ­ Gold Cup. When you complete a scenario as a winner, you will be awarded the difficulty level's relevant cup. The corresponding cup slot next to the scenario name will then be filled with your cup. This will become a permanent record of your success in that scenario. Double Left-click: Use to carry out a particular action. For instance, double-clicking over a business will bring up its corresponding Business Adjustment Panel (described on page XIII), while double-clicking over a block when in City View (described on page XIV) will cause the camera to zoom in and focus on the selected block. Character Selection Once you've selected a scenario, click on the OK button. This will take you to the Character Selection screen. These calculations are displayed at the bottom of the panel. When you're satisfied with all of your adjustments, click the Accept button to activate the Book Store's construction. The new Book Store now sits proudly on the corner of Regent Street. The green "bounding box" surrounding the building and the new information displayed within the MPP confirms your selection. Adjusting the Prices and Stock Level Having built a Book Store, you'll probably want to tinker with the price settings and stock ordering. Select the Book Store and then click on the Business Adjustments button (the orange button marked with a plus and minus sign to the left of the MPP). If you prefer, simply double-click on the Book Store itself. This, too, will bring up the Business Adjustment Panel, where you can tinker to your heart's content. 1 2 3 4 5 1.

[. . . ] If you click on one of the blocks containing an apartment, the MPP will display the commodities that the people living there actually need.

City Information Player Information Locator Commission Poll Auction Timer The Multi Purpose Panel The Player Comparison Panel THE GREEN BUTTONS (Information Central) Exit City View City View gives you access to a lot of useful data on the city itself, with the MPP providing access to most of this information.

In addition, there are details regarding such things as the age split of the city's population and the citizens' income levels. [. . . ]
