Playing the Game

DEATHWISH III has a realistic three-dimensional scenario. You may turn around to look in any direction - the view you have is always geographically correct, the streets and buildings forming a logical map. A compass in the lower part of the screen will help you find your way around the city and shows your direction of view - NORTH, SOUTH, EAST or WEST.

Your location in the city is shown on the map alongside your compass, and is always orientated in the direction of view. The map can also be toggled to inform you of either the whereabouts of gang leaders or the location of replacement weapons.

You have four types of weapon at your disposal: your famous 475 WILDEY MAGNUM, a pump-action shot-gun, a machine gun and a rocket launcher. Each weapon has its own distinctive devastating effect, but ammunition is not limitless. The weapon currently being used and its remaining ammunition is shown at the bottom of the screen. When a weapon runs out of ammunition, it is automatically discarded until another can be found. Kersey will inform you if he has no weapon!

The lower part of the screen also contains all the information you'll need in your fight to free the streets of New York. A printout from the police HQ computer warns you of where riots are breaking out. Gangs from the outlying regions will fight for control of the city centre, so you can be sure that this is the most dangerous place to be. The condition of your bulletproof vest and your state of health are shown. Too many holes or a direct hit to the heart is fatal.

The top part of the screen contains all the action. Buildings may be entered and searched for extra weapons or gang leaders. You may approach windows and look through them, a gunsight will appear and allow you to fire into the street outside. Higher points are given for shooting from windows, but watch out for creeps attacking from behind!!
