1. STORY
************************************************************************

   You are the only descendant and heir of the Blockenspiels, the owner
of a castle in the Village Strudelburg. Like your Great Uncle Blockenspiel,
you have become interested in the notion of being able to reanimate dead
tissue. However, your Uncle failed in trying to alert the people of the
village how valuable this could be, when in the end, they grew to resent
and fear him. Finish your Uncle's dream and bring well deserved glory
finally to the family name.
   Mad Doctor is a unique game, in which you must go around town...
uhm, killing innocent people to use their body parts in the creation
of a  monster. Hack people, then autopsy them to create a superbeing,
than bring that being to life to present to the people. This game may not
be for everyone, as it is a bit creepy.

*************************************************************************
2. Map
*************************************************************************

  The Village of Strudelburg is divided into six parts:

               ---------------            ---------------
               |             |            |             |
               | Poor        |            |  Forest     |

4. Secret Passage Guide
*************************************************************************
While at first, the passages (located in Castle Blockenspiel) seem to go
on forever. But surprisingly, there are very little:


          Fountain   Forest  Crypt
        (Centre)\      |     / (Graveyard)
                 \ ____|____/
                       |
                       |
                       | /Stone Circle (Light Hill)
                       |/
                       |
                       |
                Arcade |
       (Poor Area)   \ |
                      \|
                     START

*************************************************************************
5. Walkthrough
*************************************************************************
*This will probably be my shortest ever walkthrough (besides Ghetto
Blaster), since it's really a game that's so short once you can beat
it. So forgive me for sounding vague, but it's really as complex as I
can get. :)*

Map of Castle Blockenspiel
--------------------------
                      Your Room
                          |
    Dungeons______________|____________Secret Passages
    Laboratory____________|____________Library
                          |
                         Exit

You start off hungry and thirsty, so go to your table and eat and drink.
Exit your room, and make way to the dungeons. Here, EXAMINE the bones,
and PICK UP BOLT. Exit dungeons, and go to the library. Here, you
are looking for two books in particular, Reanimation of Dead Tissue
and a Guide to the Village. These are a good read, not necessary, but
it will help you understand the game much better. Now exit the Castle.

The first place to go, is the Centre. Here, you want to visit the College
and Hospital. Examine all of the cabinets in each, to get the following:

Hospital:          - Medical Needles and Twine (Sewing Kit)
                  - Carbolic Acid
                  - Gleaming Set of Scalpels
                  - Tranquillizer Syringe

College:           - Large Magnifying Glass
                  - Small Pair of Tweezers
                  - Metal Kite
                  - Biology Handbook

Immediately read the biology book, as you will be able to better choose
body parts. Now, your almost ready to finish the game. Yes already! :)

From here, you must murder people, bring them to your lab and build your body.
However, you can't just go around knocking people out left and right without the
village getting suspicious, so this is a problem.

When the village grows nervous
about the missing people, they will start attacking you. Once it gets really
bad (check your Village Status near the life meter), like to rioting which is the
final emotion, they will start following you everywhere if they see you. Even
through your safe passages and your home. The best, is just avoid them and run,
run, run! There is a glitch you can use, but it will kill the game.

*Glitch* - Go to the Police HQ, and close the gates. Kill the cop in the
gates, and then carry his body to the floor and lay it down outside the
gates. Kill the other cop. Now go hit someone (anyone) and bring them to
the Police HQ and enter the gates. When they come in the games after you,
shut them and they will get stuck for some reason. Here you can attack them
and they can't hurt you. Carry them out, to the fountain and back to your house.

However, if you don't want to use the glitch :) Here are the best places to get
bodies:

Forest Maze: Late at night, there is a bum alone.
Centre: Take the hung corpse.
Church: Take bodies out of the coffins.

Once you have accumulated 5 bodies and brought them all to your lab, drop the bold
and place the corpse up and start to examine them. Take their best feature (ONLY ONE!!!)
and place it on the examining table. Only take one part from each human, or else
your monster will turn on you. Once you have built your monster, you are ready to
take him to Light Hill.

Locate on the map, the fastest way to Stone Circle, and lay your monster down. (The
best time is late at night.) Fly the metal kite, which will strike the monster and
bring him to life. If he is a good monster (which usually he is) then awesome.
Bring him to the Town Hall. If the monster turns on you, and attacks you, use the
tranquillizer to sedate him and figure out what needs to be removed. (In other words
restart the game.)

At the Town Hall, more than likely the people there are not going to accept the fact
you have some creature running around (any one you encounter for that matter) so
stay away from them. Mount your show, which will start two hours from scheduling it,
and then sedate your monster so the people can approach without fear. When the time
comes, present monster, and that's the end of the game. :)
