TEST YOUR LUCK AT
====>>>> THE FLIGHTDECK CASINO <<<<====
==> Special Villain facilities!! <==
Need to take out an opponent? Look no further! Ask the ship's personel wearing red coats for further information.
Concrete Shoe room:
Excellent way to dispose of your enemy. Clean and efficiently and without any evidence. Concrete not included in the price.
Soundproof room:
Though not actually sound proof, the noise of the nearby engine room drowns any noises in this well-armored room. Perfect for shooting your enemy without drawing any attention from other passengers.
Punchbag room:
Special room for beating up your enemy, whether it is to teach him a lesson or extract information. Immobilize your victim and start your work-out. Remember: Exercise is important for one's condition!
Piano room:
Lots of pianos, lots of piano snares and lots of opportunities to strangle your enemy!
Fishing room:
Located between the hull stern observation rooms. Tie up your enemy and throw him out of the door. Especially interesting in shark-infested waters. Lots of betting opportunities here!
Trapdoors:
This ship does not stop for passengers falling overboard (which is not possible anyway). Trapdoors all over the ship will allow you to remove unwanted persons from the ship. Just make sure you're in the right position and your enemy isn't.
Body disposal room:
Got a body you can't get rid of? Give it to the ship's special crew and we will make sure that the evidence goes up in smoke together with the coal.
Fish room:
Some beautiful, yet nasty creatures in the fish tank in this room, eager to take a bite out of an unfortunate enemy dropped in the tank. Dinner will be served shortly!
