The following text will walk you through Mean Streets by ACCESS:

General Hints:
1. Document every thing you do and cannot do. Therefore when a new name 
   appears you will have the reference. Also, when you cannot open something, 
   you know where to come back to when you find the object needed.
2. Always LOOK, MOVE, OPEN & GET in this order. It will prevent you 
   from picking up something and never be able to open & search it 
   once it is in your inventory.
3. If you never want to worry about money running out -- save the game 
   before you BRIBE and then reload the game once you have the info 
   requested.
