        The Three Missions expounded apon in this particular lumbering
        waltz-limp are as follows:

         Snatch And Grab - Old Comrades, Old Debts - Lord Alan's Basement
         (again in three parts for easy consumption)

   1 ->  Snatch And Grab ((Retyped FROM MEMORY because of power outage!))
         By Apache & Ernie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <ouch!> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         The Quick Cut:
         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
         My first misimpressions of Apache's work were pleasantly shattered
       by The Autionhouse and even more pleasantly - completely blown away
       by this mission.

        Apache shows his stuff in what he refers to  as a 'mimi-mission'
      but it is far more rich and complete for it's (file) size than many
      I've played.  - A City - The Underground - The City again - all very
      well rendered and connected in one map with some suprising and re-
      warding twists and turns, and including some creative innovations.


         The Long Haul:
         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
          You are neatly deposited into a very nice city environment with
       all the necessary details to create a real world picture - some of
       them very well executed - and with clear objectives. - But, wait!
       SO many guards covering the front of one sprawling structure? -
       There is certainly an easier way in. Well, being the contrary ass
       that I am - I chose a different route than the one offered, and
       lured all the guards into the shadows to be dispatched one-by-one.
       - And I'm very glad I chose that route because I was rewarded by
       Apache's generous construction which allows relatively easy access
       to ALL the rooftops with sweeping views of this well accented city
       environment. - THANK you Apache! :]

         The path takes an abrupt turn which leads you into explorations
       underground. - This is where the mood changes into a colorful and
       intriguing setting - leading you to use unique objects in inventive
       ways - A tasty spice to the broth that may well have you taking re-
       peated sips to appreciate it's unusual flavour - and that will lead
       you eventually back to the surface where the mission takes yet another
       unexpected twist - one that is both rewarding and satisfying for the
       player. - Coming full circle to create the impression of a wholly
       complete experience.

         Summation:
         ~~~~~~~~~~
        "Mini-mission" is an appalling understatement - but I believe it was
      Apache's intention to suprise - and suprise he DOES - in this finely
      crafted and creative map that is most generously rewarding for the
      player.

        Apache is currently working on a much larger map, and I am most
     appreciatively anticipating it's release - If this map is any in-
     dicator I have no doubts that it will be an absolute stunner. !8]
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Best Wishes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
