Hahaha. So what if one's manual is lost? (Or even stolen?) I think
that is the right time to ask the more than helpful subscribers of
amiga.games for help rather then to ask for info that is right there in
the book.

BTW, you can not fire any of your weapons to the rear in BM XVIII.

correctly, my version of BLAZEMONGER XVIII (or is it XIX?) had
a virtual index in which to look up such references in the
virtual manual. However, I was never actually able to use the
virtual index, as that was also a violation of the virtual rules.
Or maybe I am confusing this with that pirated version of BM XVIII
that destroyed my disk drive?

Sorry Derek - This is, to be frank, complete Bullshit. Of course you can
fire your rear lasers. Just hold down left-shift, right-Amiga, Escape and
delete, and tap the left mouse button repeatedly. Of course, the fact that
your rear lasers are not only immovable, but are also pointed at you does
cause some minor difficulties.
Taro.
Anyway - what the hell are you doing with an outdated version of Blazemonger
anyway??? By now it should have activated the self-combustion code.

list from uunet? There's quite a few sites with
comp.sys.amiga.software.pirate newsgroups configured which ends up
getting their messages rejected ;-)
When was there a .software newsgroups for Amiga? Must have been
way before my time.

With your tongue.

Darn, you figured it out. Hee hee hee hee hee.

The self-combustion feature always waits until you least expect it.
(Thanks to advances in Artificial Intelligence.)

I can explain everything. 1) There is no way I could have figured that
without the manual, 2) I don't have the manual, 3) naturally I'm using a
cracked and pirated disk (cracked so it will not spontaniously combust).

OK, enough of this.

Just aim it at the monster's butt and click on the "GOOSE" gadget.

Try contacting our virtual "Customer Service" department, who
will be virtually happy give you virtual "assistance."

That's silly. Everyone knows that any version of BLAZEMONGER
destroys your computer, and tries to burn down your house if you
even BLINK wrong, let alone try to pirate it. You're lying about
owning it.

I never said I owned it. I said I copied it -- in fact I copied it from
a friend who lives in Malibu, CA. I really hope this is not the case,
but his house probably burned down in the fires and we'll never know
if...wait - I think I just figured out what caused the fires. I guess
I'd better destroy my copy of BM before it burns down Carnegie Mellon.
