Notes: 2012.032.0001 Selected text from bottom of box. The United States is a nightmareland of toxic waste, melted icecaps, and desperate shortages of oat bran. Horrible mutations roam the countryside... monsters spawned of radiation, environmental toxins, and unregulated bio-engineering. But in a tiny corner of New Jersey, a small group of Superheroes has banded together. Their mission: to nurture the rebirth of a new society, to ease the suffering of the dark age, and to provide a place where Superheroes can always find a date on Saturday night. Lead a hilarious band of superheroes on a dangerous quest to defeat the evil Doctor Entropy. Select from League members including Tropical Oil Man (can raise opponent's cholesterol level), Zaniac (the power to confuse) and Captain Excitement (puts animals to sleep). Battle ferocious Aerobots, flame-throwing robotic exercise teachers (when they say,"Feel the burn," they mean it). Fight the dreaded Albino Rhino and 30 other wacky mutants including Cy Young Cyborgs, Screaming Meemies, Cruise Mistletoes, Junk Bond Amoebas and the awesome King Kong Salmon, who return to the top of the Empire State Building to spawn! Six levels of adventure! From Three Mile Island to Atlantic City, society is struggling to climb back up the ladder of civilization, while Doctor Entropy is busy sawing off the rungs! A ground-breaking mixture of adventure gaming and role playing! ----- [Cataloger's note: as of 2012, this game was available for download online in formats usable on current computer equipment; a general Google search returned over 18,000 hits for the game.] Status: OK Status By: dw Status Date: 2012-08-09
