    Dim Esquire Instructions

     In a  small kingdom in 10th
century England,  there lived  a
splendid little  king named Bob.
Everyone in  the kingdom admired
their ruler.   Bob  defended his
people-- perhaps  too well.   He
had sentenced a satanic sorcerer
to his  death after  slaying the
princess.     The  sorcerer  was
killed at  a guillotine--  or so
was thought...
     His corpse  was buried  the
very  next  day,  but  by  night
Garth had  clawed his way out of
the grave.  Lugging his head, he
slowly tramped  his way  to  the
palace.   As he  progressed,  he
transformed  everything  he  saw
into mutants  with the  souls of
the undead.   Upon  reaching the
castle, he  made his  way to the
throne room  and  captured  King
Bob.   Then, taking him, he went
to the tower and slowly tortured
the king until...
     Stu Makfonker was returning
from the  grocery  store  (which
was a  good 100  miles  away  in
10th century  England),  and  he
noticed  that   everyone  had  a
very, very,  bad hair  day.   In
fact,  it   was   their   entire
bodies,  they  were  all  ogres.
Stu  learned   that  Garth   had
captured the King and decided he
must rescue him.
