READ ME TEXT FOR SAMPLER I.M. Meen Be quick. Be smart. Beware. Ignatius Mortimer Meen is a nasty librarian who hates smart kids and he's built a 36-level labyrinth to trap them. He's also a writer...a terrible writer with poor grammar who only writes about himself. He thinks he's so great! And then you come along. You're trapped in a cell, but Gnorris -- Meen's kindly assistant -- takes pity on you and frees you. To escape from the labyrinth you must free the other children who are still locked away in Meen's magic labyrinth. Gnorris has nailed a scroll of Meen's writing on each cell door where there's a trapped child. Find the scrolls, correct the writing and the kids will be set free. But -- oh yes -- you must survive the labyrinth. Meen will send giant spiders, ratmen, gargoyles and other Magic Guardians to recapture you. Defend yourself with your Magic Wands, Explode-O-Fruits and other Magic Items. In this two-level sampler, you will experience some of the excitement of I. M. Meen, but only with the full 36-level game will you be able to work your way up to the final confrontation between you... and MEEN!
