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!
