- Yes, it's true!!!!
-
- You asked for it. You BEGGED for it. You *SCREAMED* for it.
-
- You even offered to PULL OFF YOUR OWN TOES with a RUSTY PAIR of
- DENTAL PLIERS for it. In slow motion. With "mambo" music playing in the
- background.
-
- We laughed.
-
- But then we did it ANYWAY!!
-
-
- *** B L A Z E M O N G E R O N C D - R O M ***
-
-
- Yes: the MOST ULTIMATE INTERNATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT SENSATION since
- the invention of Pop-Tarts (TM) is now available on CD-ROM!!!!!
-
- "But I don't understand!!!" you cry in confusion. "BLAZEMONGER is
- already the ultimate game, and it's contained on a single floppy disk! Why
- do you need all that extra space??"
-
- [Insert evil laughter here.]
-
- We are happy you asked, you SILLY GOON. We have VERY good uses for
- that space. Here is a brief feature list for BLAZEMONGER ON CD-ROM:
-
- * Now includes the ENTIRE UNIVERSE... and THEN SOME!
-
- * More EYEBALL-POPPING DIGITIZED SOUNDS!!
-
- * More EAR-SHATTERING GRAPHICS!!
-
- * More HEROES!! You now have COUNTLESS more choices of who your
- hero/heroine/being should be. Have you ever wondered what it would
- be like to guide Beavis and Butthead through the dungeons of
- BLAZEMONGER? How about Irving Gould? Tonya Harding? Karl Marx?
- Karl MALDEN?? Karl Malden's NOSE?!? Complete with SNEEZE GUARD?!?!?
-
- * More MONSTERS! If you thought that 25,984,112,085,394,418,222,017
- monsters weren't enough, YOU WERE RIGHT!!! Now you can THRILL to
- the HAIR-RAISING EXPERIENCE of being SAVAGELY ATTACKED by:
-
- * Living, walking, SLEDGEHAMMERS!
-
- * 3,000-kilometer-tall ANGRY CHICKENS... on STILTS!!
-
- * The GHOST of Commodore Australia!! (Playing tip: do NOT
- try to beat this monster with the "Irving Gould" character.)
-
- * Cheez Whizards!! Watch out for these TERRIFYING new magic
- users with their NOZZLES OF DOOM!
-
- * Software engineers carrying soldering irons!!
- (YAAAAAHHH... SCARY!!)
-
- * Deadly, poisonous, blank PROXY FORMS from the Commodore
- Shareholder's Movement!!
-
- ... and QUADRILLIONS MORE!!
-
- * ON-LINE DOCUMENTATION in AMIGAGUIDE FORMAT!! Yes, it's now TRIVIAL
- to identify any object or creature in BLAZEMONGER. Simply position
- your mouse cursor over it and press the "Help" key. Immediately (in
- fact, slightly BEFORE you press the "Help" key), an AmigaGuide
- window will pop up and tell you what a HOPELESS DWEEB you are for
- using this TOTALLY WIMPY help facility, and giving you a severe
- electronic shock up the mouse cable. YOWZA!!
-
- * COMPLETE MAPS OF ALL DUNGEONS!!! (See "ON-LINE DOCUMENTATION",
- above, but with higher voltage.)
-
- * THOUSANDS OF CHEATS!!! (See "COMPLETE MAPS", above, but MUCH
- nastier.)
-
- * EDIT ACCESS TO THE HIGH SCORE TABLE!!! (See "THOUSANDS OF CHEATS",
- above, or save us the trouble and just kill yourself right now.)
-
- * A new COPY PROTECTION MECHANISM!! You've heard all those LOSER
- GOOFBALLS who insist that CD-ROM's provide their own "copy
- protection" by holding so much data. Well, THIS IS WORSE!
- BLAZEMONGER ON CD-ROM has SO MUCH DATA that if anybody tried to copy
- it, the destination disk would EXPLODE with MULTI-MEGATON FORCE even
- before HALF A SECTOR was transferred!!
-
- (Actually, this is a real problem for our disc duplication factory!
- Each copy of BLAZEMONGER ON CD-ROM must be produced with extreme
- caution, or else the unstable anti-matter molecules on the disc rub
- each other the wrong way, producing......... uh, never mind, I've
- said too much already.)
-
- * CD-ROM SPEED ENHANCEMENT! Forget about your WIMPY double-speed or
- quadruple-speed multisession PhotoCD CRAP. BLAZEMONGER ON CD-ROM
- forces your drive to read the disc at WARP FACTOR SPEEDS -- so fast
- that the disc becomes INVISIBLE, allowing the laser to read BOTH
- SIDES AT THE SAME TIME!! [Caution: do NOT open the drive door
- while the disc is spinning, unless you enjoy having a narrow,
- 5.25-inch hole drilled through every solid object between your
- computer and, say, Neptune. Including yourself.]
-
- * 50,000,000 PIZZAS!!! Yes, we have digitized fifty million pizzas in
- 24-bit color and 36-bit flavor... just PERFECT for those month-long,
- late-night games. Hungry?? Just send one to your printer!! Our
- special Culinary Conversion attachment [included] gives you hot,
- fresh, steaming pizza -- and only minimal ink stains -- with your
- choice of over 64,000 toppings!! Ever wonder what pizza would taste
- like with walnuts and whipped cream? Candle wax and "Count
- Chocula?" How about hot dogs, beer, cabbage, and DEAD ALIEN
- MEAT?!? Well WONDER NO LONGER. Just DIG IN... and then DIG YOUR OWN
- GRAVE in BLAZEMONGER!!
-
- * And of course: MORE VIOLENCE!!!!!!!!! If your CD-ROM drive manages
- to load this disc without MELTING from the INTENSITY, consider
- yourself LUCKY!!! *Very* lucky. Especially since if it DOES melt,
- you'll have to call "Customer Service". :-)
-
- At this point, I am sure you are DYING to run out and play
- BLAZEMONGER ON CD-ROM, so I'll let you discover the rest of its secrets on
- your own. BLAZEMONGER ON CD-ROM costs only $9.95 -- yes, the same price as
- the floppy version, because we are such ULTIMATE STUDS -- so buy it today!!
- And find out why both "BLAZEMONGER" and "CD-ROM" are always written in
- CAPITAL LETTERS!!!!!
