For many years the ancient city of IRKON has been ruled over by the great and evil wizard
VADRA. The inhabitants or IRKON have been suppressed and enslaved by this wizad and anyone
who speaks out against him is instantly imprisoned, or worse. You are one of these citizens
having been imprisoned long ago. As well as imprisoning you, as further punishment VADRA
also turned you into an amorphous blob, without movement or form.
To help him keep control of the people of IRKON, VADRA forced the craftsmen to make vast
bottles over which he cast an evil spell. The spell caused the bottles to ooze out large
embryonic bubbles which burst leaving spellbound mutant creatures under the control of
VADRA. When the people saw the first of these mighty bottles they called it:
BUBBLER©
After a hundred years or more you discover that VADRA'S assistant, a lesser wizard called
KINTOR who has helped VADRA to overthrow IRKON, has now been imprisoned. KINTOR'S power was
increasing and would soon be equal to that of VADRA and VADRA feared this as KINTOR was
becoming sympathetic to the plight of the IRKON people. Before his powers became too great,
VADRA encapsulated KINTOR in a sphere of energy which slowly drained his life force, and
then condemned him to a dungeon.
Before KINTOR became completely powerless he endowed you with the ability to move and fire
globules of energy which will destroy any living entity in its path, so that you can espace
from the prison with vital information on how to destroy VADRA. As KINTOR'S powers were
being diminished your ability to move was limited to only a short period of time.
KINTOR told of magic corks that he had create and hidden in the city of IRKON which would
stop the BUBBLERS and diminish the power of VADRA. As VADRA'S power is gradually diminished,
KINTOR'S power is thus rejuvenated, giving you extra time to complete your mighty task.
The corks have been hidden under trapdoors which you must pass through, but beware, some of
the trapdoors emerge over the black void of the prison floor which kill you. VADRA'S
spellbound followers, the guardians of the prison, can also pass through these trapdoors but
only you know how to pick up the magic corks. Beware of other dangers in VADRA'S prison, as
you now formless body is delicate and is easily pierced by sharp objects.
If you can cork all the BUBBLERS in the prison you will escape and the knowledge that KINTOR
has given you will destroy VADRA.
CAN YOU CORK THE BUBBLER?
