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.
