We really didn't mean any harm.

Honest.

It all started one night, when my uncle and I were watching the "Back to the Future" Trilogy on video. Somehow I made the comment that Dr. Brown was a great scientist inventing time travel and getting out of all the situations he and Marty got into. My uncle said that was nothing. He was working on a device that would make time travel a child's toy.

"Okay," I said, "What is it".

"It's called the Worm Hole Spawner".

"The What", I answered.

"A Worm Hole Spawner. It is a simple machine that will allow us to travel through time and space, over millions of light years in the wink of an eye. It does that by creating a worm hole in the space time dimension", he replied.

Well, to make a long story short, he took me to his lab just off the main entrance. There he showed me a wondrous machine that resembled a space ship control center. It was out of this world. Lights flashing, computer monitor with data, it was really wild.

Our first mistake was not watching the weather report. It was raining cats and dogs, with thunder and lightning. Not a fit night out for man or beast... but, in this case, it was okay for THEM !

As my uncle started to activate the machine, a bolt of lightning struck the house, almost disintegrating the machine, and opening a wide hole in the sky. Something came out of that hole, something that resembled

That is enough, earthling. You have read too much already. It is only through our benevolence that you will be allowed to remember what you have read. The rest is not for your knowledge or information....until you have earned it. And there is only one way to do that.

You must purchase an item called a computer program, one that is named "Alien Incident", manufactured by a company called GameTek. It is used on recreational devices peculiar to your society, items called computers and Ninetendos and Segas. Only by doing this for the ridiculously low earth price of $29.95 may you gain the knowledge of Ben Richards, and solve the mystery of the open Worm Hole Spawner.

To accomplish this easy (for us, anyway) task, one must possess a thing called DOS 5.0 or greater. Windows 95 (yes, we must pay royalties to Emperor Bill also) and Windows 3.1 are not needed, and furthermore, are not desired in this program. We have downgraded our systems and have concluded after careful analysis that this program reflects the true story of what happened when we invaded...er....visited your planet.

So rush right out to your local game store, buy this unique program, and prepare to have a great time solving the same riddles that Ben Richards attempted. Maybe you'll have better luck.

And maybe you won't.........
