RELEASE NOTES

Somewhere in a past that never existed lies the world of Kingpin- a
landscape of burned-out buildings and urban decay, where local gangs rule
the streets.

Begin your rise to the top by assembling your own gang of thugs. If a new
member turns out to be a punk, waste him and make way for new blood.

Moving up in the world is sure to attract the attention of the Kingpin;
eventually you're going to have to take him down.

But you knew that anyway...

Kingpin is a first person descent into the underground world of organized
crime and episodic adventure. Set in a fictional retro-tech urban world,
players are invited into a game of deep dark adventure, organized crime
and revolutionary game technology. Based on an enhanced version of the
Quake II(TM) engine, Kingpin allows players an ability to explore story-
lines and subplots, and prepare for confrontation before exploding into
all-out warfare. With its film-noir style, superlative graphic detail and
sinister soundtrack Kingpin is sure to find that crossover audience
gaming's been waiting for.

Features:

~ Made by creators of Redneck Rampage, Kingpin: Life of Crime is the
most involving, immersive experience ever.

~ 24 levels in 6 episodes integrate adventure and action in a realistic,
urban setting.

~ Get to know the population - mothers, kids, street punks, winos,
vigilantes, cops, feds, shop keeps, and many others - some will help,
while other shoot first and ask questions later.

~ Watch enemies and allies with neural net-based AI behave like real
humans, right down to displaying pity or vengeance, heroics or
cowardice. Leaders coordinate large groups, and teams work together
instead of shooting each other in the back.

~ Buy and sell items through a system of intelligent pawnshops that set
the street value for everything from polished heaters to scrap metal.

~ Target specific body parts and actually see the damage done- including
exit wounds.

~ Strengthen your turf by recruiting the gang members you want on your
side.

~ Talk to people the way you want... from "smack" to pacifying.

~ Hop a train to get around town.

~ Built on top of the revolutionary Quake II engine, Kingpin: Life of
Crime includes multiplayer death match for up to 16 thugs.

Ripped:

Intro movie and CDDA were the first and only victims, the sounds
had to be MP3ed and textures jpged.

Install:

Unzip, and then either unpack manually or use Moonlords Install.exe to
do it for you. Run the Setup.bat to decompress some stuff. After that is
done you can play with Kingpin.exe. Enjoy !
