Dear Reviewer:
Steve Meretzky has looked at the role-playing world through cracked lenses,
and the results will leave you laughing. His unique brand of wacky humor has
found a new home in this exciting product that features hilarious monsters and
mutant superheroes locked in mortal combat in a post nuclear American
wasteland. From the wilds of suburban New Jersey to the top of the Empire
State Building, lead your merry band of mutant superheroes into battle as you
struggle to defeat the ultimate evil - Dr. Entropy. Superpowers are better
than magic! This game is a breath of fresh air!
For those who can most easily reproduce PCX files, we have included several
here.
COMBAT.PCX. - The combat interface features monsters across the top of the
screen and Superheroes across the bottom. As you can see, Robo Mop ("No mess
too large") has used a deadly swarm of trained hornets to attack the roving
All-Mine mines. The fearsome mines were designed for super stealth, but
unfortunately due to a greed virus planted in the programming, they frequently
give themselves away by crying, "Mine! Mine! All mine!" The remaining
superheroes shown in this screen and their primary powers are as follows:
The Crimson Tape - This character's extraordinary ability to "Create
Organizational Charts" makes him a born leader of Superheroes.
Captain Excitement - Converses in such a dull manner that he puts his
opponents to sleep.
Mademoiselle Pepperoni - Can divine the toppings of any pizza WITHOUT
OPENING THE BOX!!!
TUPPER.PCX - Tuppers feature an air-tight compartment to store their kills
until they are ready to digest them. Tuppers usually travel in fighting packs
known as Tupper War Parties.
MISTLE.PCX - Cruise Mistletoes are guided nuclear-tipped plant sprigs, that
can literally kiss a foe to death.
SUPERMOM.PCX - Bred for child-rearing by radically anti-feminist
fundamentalists, Supermoms have extraordinarily wide hips, massive mammaries
and eyes in the backs of their heads.
BUG.PCX - The Unrepeatable Bug is a rare but tenacious pest with unknown
origins. It may have been created during a world-wide computer crisis on
January 1, 2000, when many computer programs crashed because they could not
recognize a year beginning with the number 2.
