INSTRUCTION MANUAL





WASHING TIME



Fierce Brushnan, the bravest washing brush of the United Sinkdom -with licence to rinse-, has been given the important mission of washing all the utensils of the world's eight most renowned kitchens. It has been reported that Halt Cherry, the infamous arch-enemy of Brushnan, has sabotaged the kitchens with dangerous poison carafes.





STAB TO START



This game has been designed to be burnt in an 8KB ROM device and to be run from a standard cartridge mapping the ROM to address #4000 (page 1). Many alternative media, means & utilities exist that can correctly run this ROM image, but please read the file WARNING.TXT for important notes about this issue.



Once the initial hardware diagnostics and notices have been performed, press fire in any control device whilst in the game title screen or the demo game to start. The option selection menu is brought. Using the control device which you triggered, choose the number of players (washers), assign a unique in-game control device to either player and, if you have an MSX2 or higher, select the video system which suits best your display device. Although the program adapts itself to either system, NTSC is *strongly* recommended.





PLAY THE GAME



Move Brushnan across the screen, washing the kitchen utensils by rubbing them with fire button pressed. Pick soap bottles to replenish your soap reserves, food for extra score and.. poison carafes if you don't want to lose your precious soap! You are required to wash 32 utensils to clear each round.

- Don't get too much close to the left edge to avoid disgusting surprises.

- Soap bottles should be your 1st priority.
