- Hmmm... all REAL gameplayers know that BLAZEMONGER is playable ONLY
- from its HYPER-COPY-PROTECTED master disk. This is very strange....

-
- Very strange again, as BLAZEMONGER comes on one single disk. Ivan
- Knackerthrasher, our data compression whiz, can jam over ten trillion
- dungeon levels on a single disk sector, especially on a humid day.
-
- But thanks to your post, Mark, we at BLAZEMONGER INCORPORATED have
- looked into your problem and solved it. Apparently, due to an error at the
- disk pressing plant, BLAZEMONGER was accidentally packaged with the Install
- disk from another (vastly inferior) game, "Harry Heroic and the Horrible
- Hard Disk Hedonist." The object of this TOTALLY WIMPY game is to make Harry
- prevent the Horrible Hard Disk Hedonist from filling up your hard disk with
- useless files. Evidently, you lost. :-) That "85MB free" now probably
- contains 4,752,309 copies of your startup-sequence.

- Hey, that's pretty impressive. It's too bad those motion shields
- were programmed to explode on level 16, eh?
