 Difficulty 3: Uhhh, this is hard.

 Random: Random play can be very challenging. There is
 nothing to keep you from getting stuck in an area that is
 closed off or has so many enemies that you think you can't
 kill them all without an H-Bomb. If you can do well on the
 Random Play type, consider yourself a Body Count Expert.

 Network: Enter a network floor and beat up on your co-workers.

 Network Teams: It's the Marketing Department vs. Shipping and 
                Receiving.

   Ally usage...

 Follow mode: 
          Allies try to find you and if they do they
          try to stay with you no matter where you go.
          They are too preoccupied in this mode to do any
          shooting.
 Disperse/Attack mode:
          In this mode and your allies
          will engage enemies to the death if necessary.
 Ally switch (A):
          Change your position in the building by becoming
          one of your allies. You inherit their health,
          but you get to keep any guns/ammo you've already
          earned. 
 Switch and Stay (S): 
          Change to an ally, but the character you leave 
          behind will stay where you left him/her. Then
          they can ambush any enemies who wander by. Allies
          in stay  come out of stay on the next 
          toggle into follow mode.


   AutoSave ...

 Auto Save is a handy feature that saves the game automatically
 just before you get taken to a new floor. Load from the slot
 named AutoSave from the main menu. You may not explicitly save
 to the AutoSave slot, only the program itself will write a game
 state there.


   Quick Save option...
 
 You may use the F9 key as a Quick Save key. Each time you
 enter a new floor, first save a game from the main menu.
 The last game you saved from the main menu will be the one
 that the quick save key F9 saves to. 
 You can then Load this game from the main menu when desired.

 You must first have saved a game from the Main     --- NOTE
 Menu on the current floor so that F9 QuickSave
 has a file to write to.
 

   Game Help...

 You can get a reminder of the default key presses when at
 the main menu screen. Just press 'H'.
