Story

"Hi. I'm A-J Bear. This is the story of how my cousin became super.

"It was all an accident, really. Unbeknownst to Zoom, Grandpa Merlin was busy conjuring a spell in his den.

"When Zoom came in to watch the telly, Grandpa was distracted and his spell went awry, throwing Zoom across the room.

"Grandpa rushed over to him; he didn't have any idea what would happen. He didn't even know what the spell was. When Grandpa pulled Zoom to his feet, Zoom woke.

"To spare your ears, I won't go into the details, but the spell gave Zoom super powers.

"Grandma made a simple costume, a blue mask and a red cape with a big, yellow "Z" on it.

"He's not here right now -- I think he said he was gonna go find some kind of card.

"He'd better get home soon, though, or he'll be late for work at the library."

ITEMS:

A drop of honey refills your hit points by one point. The big `100' floating around gives you one hundred points, and the zoom doll gives Zoom an extra life.

MONSTERS:

The Crabbies move in a set pattern, a diamond. They're pretty easy to get rid of.

The Flaming Turnips, those orange balls with boots and shades, move VERY randomly. If you can hit them, they'll die instantly.

Watch out for Flying Dirt Clods. They get weaker every time you hit them, but it takes multiple hits to dispatch them.

Pretzels are wimps. Just shoot 'em.

The Polygon, Green takes two hits. After the first one, it gets annoyed and starts to chase you.

The Clouds are as easy to dispatch as the Pretzels.
