The Story ;
-----------

SOME YEARS AGO

A criminal organization, claiming to posses nuclear weapons, threatens to
use them against american people, if the United States government does not
bow to its demands. Faced with America's absolute refusal to cooperate with 
the terrorists, two nuclear missiles are launched on the state of California,
 killing 50000 people.

THE FBI STARTED THE LARGEST INQUIRY IN THIS CENTURY

The FBI, in charge of the case, opens up the biggest investigation of the century. 
In 1986, after 2 years of inquiry, the leader of the criminal organization, 
Bernie Berckson, is found, thanks to the excellent work of one FBI man : special
agent Hopkins.

And two years later the leader of the criminal organisation, Bernie Berckson, was
captured by Special Agent Hopkins. 

Sentenced to death, Bernie Berckson was electrocuted twice. But, remaining 
inexplicably alive, he finally managed to escape. 


Game infos :
------------

Special Agent Hopkins has just been put on the biggest case of his life :
find and kill Bernie Berkson, the most vicious and dangerous criminal
in years.
Hostage showdowns, murders terrorist acts: Special Agent Hopkins has to
get around a nightmare of traps and twisted surprises in the course of
his investigations if he wants to find Berkson and save the planet form
certain doomsday.
 
Hopkins FBI is a game drawing on American comic-strip cartoons. The action 
takes place in the present day, in an undefined city of the USA.  
It is a click-and-play adventure game.

The hero of the game, Hopkins, is an FBI agent who at the start, is investigating
a bank robbery.  But very soon, the plot turns angry on him:  a hardened criminal 
he had arrested years before succeeds in escaping from the prison where he was held,
and is out to seek revenge on Hopkins...

The visual treatment is very much angled on comic-strip graphics.  The player has
the feeling of being inside comic-strip boxes.  The colours are bright, the decors 
detailed. 

During his investigation, the player will meet and dialogue with some forty characters. 
These are often caricatural, especially the women who, with some rare exceptions, 
tend to have dumb-blonde roles.

The atmosphere of the game is fairly gory and violent.  But this aspect is always
mitigated by the black humour of the characters and dialogue, as well as the at times
surrealistic air to the situations. It is all right to suggest the world of Pulp 
Fiction and the films of John Woo.

HOW TO PLAY :
------------

Moving the character.
---------------------

The mouse is used to move the character around : position the mouse pointer to
where you would like Hopkins to go, then press on the left button on the mouse
