Typical.

Map. Computer picks... umm... who the heck WAS this?
Looked to me to be some sort of cop type... few facial scars,
nasty look.

"That's Harry," the voice said. "New character we added in
for this version. Hey, if you get out of this alive, tell us
what you think of his strategy..."

"ROUND... ONE. FIGHT!"

He's just sitting there. Sipping some coffee. Not

I spilled his coffee. He doesn't look real happy. Pulls
out a Magnum-- BLAM!

"YOU... LOSE."

OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!

"ROUND... TWO. FIGHT!"

Pain gone. Not fun at all. Okay, play waiting game. Sit
here. Don't do anything. Harry still drinking coffee. Ponder
humanity. He's still drinking. Finished coffee. Pulls out a
Magnum-- BLOCK!

Bullet doesn't hurt? How lame. You couldn't block. A lead
slug in reality. Harry looks mad. FLEE.

Background is a police station. Run inside. Nothing behind
it?!? Oh, makes sense. All players need to see. Is the FRONT

Push the entire wall over. 2-D police station flattens
