Circuit's Edge

Introduction

There are random fighting sequences in the game that can get you killed, so you will need to get a Kung Fu Master chip and a switchblade or stiletto. After each fight make sure you pick up any money that is left behind. If you lose most of your health, you can go to the nurse at the Medical Clinic and buy nuclear healing.
