Hmmm... all REAL gameplayers know that BLAZEMONGER is playable ONLY
from its HYPER-COPY-PROTECTED master disk. This is very strange....

Very strange again, as BLAZEMONGER comes on one single disk. Ivan
Knackerthrasher, our data compression whiz, can jam over ten trillion
dungeon levels on a single disk sector, especially on a humid day.
But thanks to your post, Mark, we at BLAZEMONGER INCORPORATED have
looked into your problem and solved it. Apparently, due to an error at the
disk pressing plant, BLAZEMONGER was accidentally packaged with the Install
disk from another (vastly inferior) game, "Harry Heroic and the Horrible
Hard Disk Hedonist." The object of this TOTALLY WIMPY game is to make Harry
prevent the Horrible Hard Disk Hedonist from filling up your hard disk with
useless files. Evidently, you lost. :-) That "85MB free" now probably
contains 4,752,309 copies of your startup-sequence.

Hey, that's pretty impressive. It's too bad those motion shields
were programmed to explode on level 16, eh?
