SCENARIO
--------
When an old lady leaves her worldly fortune to Benny the Ball because her
only righful heir Amy is missing, Top Cat and the rest of the gang end up
in Beverly Hills in the luxury of Madam Van Der Gelt's mansion.  Snerdly
the butler is next in line if he can get rid of Benny.  In between rides in
the limo and having fun around the pool will T.C and his gang save Benny
and find the missing Amy?


OBJECT OF THE GAME
------------------
You play the part of Top Cat.  In the first area, the alley, TC must round
up the existing members of the gang and find the bone that will distract
'Crusher' the dog allowing TC to progress to the next area.


KEYS
----
P      - Pause
Escape - Quit
F1     - Music & Sound Effects
F2     - Sound Effects Only


MOVEMENT
--------
Controlled by joystick only.


THE OBJECTS
-----------
In order to complete the game, it is necessary to solve certain puzzles by
dropping objects in different places.  eg.  a key will open a gate etc.
Some puzzles award T.C with bonus points.  eg.  placing litter in the
dustbins.  Throughout the game, energy (milk bottles) must be collected.
Watch out for the sour ones.  Likewise fruit can be picked up for extra
points - be careful as it may be rotten.

To drop an object enter 'Object' drop mode.  A flashing cursor will
highlight the currently selected object.  This can be moved left or right
using the appropriate controls.  Once the object is chosen press fire to
drop it!


HINTS AND TIPS
--------------
Try not to lose too much energy at once as the gang may get scared and
decide to run off!  They must be found again before that area can be left.
Beware some skateboarders will pinch objects from TC and place them
randomly elsewhere.
