Gesture #

According to the CPC Retrodev rules, we included a gesture to the game Larcena’s Legacy. Some enemies may leave an envelope when dead. This item contains his salary as a hired thug.  It gives us extra points and should not be missed if we want to finish the stage with a “Perfect” bonus (read the manual for more information).
