Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

You control Ed Hick, who decided to take a day trip to New York City in his red atomic Plymouth Continental. For a first-timer in the big city, Ed will run into some problems, namely the traffic. There are two types of vehicles that Ed must face. There are harmless cars cruising the streets, and these cars can be run over without taking any damage to yourself. There are also tow trucks that can easily damage your Plymouth. If it takes enough damaged or it runs out of gas, then it is hauled to the garage while you are recovering in the hospital. You must hot-foot it all the way to the garage to pick up your car and fork out $100 for repairs. If you run out of money, the game is over. 

However, you are free to visit the bank to get some more. If you do this, then you need to avoid a series of bank robbers, who constantly fire at you and prevent you from reaching the teller on the opposite side. If you manage to reach the teller, then you are awarded $500 and the teller will close.

Your main objective is to visit two of the buildings, as indicated in your status bar. (Only two buildings are open at once.) To view a site, you must find a parking space close by, get out of the car, and walk into the building. Each building contains a mini-game that must be completed before it can be deemed as 'seen'. Meanwhile, your car is metered, and if the parking meter expires, then it is towed away to the lot and you have to make your way to the lot to pick it up. The whole game must be completed in a day.

Description from the packaging:

You planned for this vacation for a long time. It's your first time to the "Big Apple" and you don't know what to expect when you drive over the bridge. Well buddy, you're about to find out:
All the stories you've heard are true- and then some. First there's the traffic...
Bravely you park your car and venture, on foot, into Grant's Tomb- the first landmark you decided to visit. "Just like in the guide book," you say to yourself, "this is going to be a lot of fun." Then you step outside, just in time to see your car disappear around the block at the business end of a tow truck.

You finally find out where to retrieve it. Just a few subway stops away. You mutter, trying to cheer yourself up. And then you enter the subway station... The sight that greets you stops you dead in your tracks. And so far the day has just begun.
New York City captures all the metropolitan madness you've ever dreamed of, as you explore the Empire State Building, Central Park, the automat, and all the other sights and sounds of Manhattan, as only a tourist can.
Remember, just when you think it can't get any worse in New York City, it will!
