Introduction:
-------------

A flurry of excitement at the METALVOTZE construction site: Andy
thought the visit of Inspector Ignaz would cool Bill down a
little as the bricklayer's thirst for beer increases from day to
day.
Far too often Bill caused trouble being a drunkard at work,
scrapping tools and machines. Far too often he was rude to Andy,
his apprentice boy, demanding more and more beer to drink.

Now, what Andy did not expect was this inspector being as lazy
as his foreman. Moreover, Inspector Ignaz is a real pain in the
arse when it comes to keeping Andy away from his duty:
-- To serve his master with beer - as fast as possible! ---



Characters of the game:
-----------------------

Andy, The Apprentice:
   You slip into the role of Andy the apprentice boy at the
   construction site. Knowing foreman and master Beer Belly Bill,
   you always come up with clever ways to collect the empty
   bottles he drops, to hump them over to the news stand to the left 
   of the construction site to exchange them with fresh beer there
   (Button A) and to put them on the lift to the right (Button A 
   at lift).
   Always on the run from Beer Belly Bill, Andy has three bottles
   of fine Premium Beer (TM) with him which he drops whenever he
   is in trouble (Button B). While Bill enjoys one of these it
   gives Andy a little time to escape from his bad tempered master.
   After each morning shift Andy enjoys a little free time
   collecting empties and making some money (Bonus-Level).
   
   Will Andy be free one day and be a bricklayer himself?
   Will he, in a happy future, have an apprentice boy himself who
   he can push around?

Beer Belly Bill:
   Beer or not a beer - that is the question for Bill. He HATES
   running out of beer at work. In fact, if this happens too
   often, he would go home and have a beer there (GAME OVER).
   His "relationship" to Andy can best described by "Master and
   Servant", and he reminds Andy about his attitude every time he
   gets a grip on him - using his fists and feet. For him, the
   only positive thing about Andy is his Premium Beer (TM) which
   he is eager to get.

Inspector Ignaz:
   The inspector is checking all the mess Bill has made since
   "Beer Belly Bill In Construction Site Mayhem". Simply try to
   keep away from this lazy bastard as well, he only stands in
   your way whenever you are in a hurry...
