INLAY CARD TEXT



The Story:



You are Randolph (a hero).  Your quest is to rescue your beloved

maiden from the clutches of Spegbott the Terrible.



You Receive an inter-dimensional distress call from the SS

Rustbucket, the ship she was travelling in.  The message reads:



CRASHED ON THE PLANET 2749 OF THE ZRAGG SYSTEM STOP

REQUIRE ASSISTANCE STOP PRINCESS AMELIA CAPTURED STOP

TELEPORT CO-ORDINATES 217/502 STOP PLEASE COME QUICKLY STOP



You pull out your all-purpose attack suit (with laser-assisted

plasma rifle) and rush to your local teleport station.



Three blips later you find yourself inside the SS Rustbucket. 

So begins your quest to find your beloved Amelia.



You progress through twenty gruelling levels, fighting your way

through the wrecked space cruiser.  Defending yourself against

the Berzerka Security Droids, you finally reach the planet's

surface where you must do battle against mystical creatures to

ultimately reach Spegbott's castle, where you will find your

beloved, guarded by the awesome Henchodroid.  Defeat him in

mortal combat to ultimately release the beautiful Amelia.



GO FORTH AND RESCUE!
