HOW AN ADVENTURE WORKS:

     You  are  in  charge of the  main  character...  any  action, 
response  or behavior that the character performs comes from  you. 
When your character asks,  "WHAT SHALL I DO", answer him by typing 
in  2-word  commands from your keyboard.  If  your  character  has 
spotted an item in his vicinity, he might be able to acquire it if 
you tell him to TAKE it or GET it, as in GET BOOK or TAKE HAMMER.

     Be literal and precise. your character is depending on you to 
tell him exactly what to do.  If he or she doesn't understand your 
meaning,  you'll  be told that they don't  understand.  When  that 
happens, try different commands until you find one that works.

     Finding out what commands work and what ones don't is part of 
the fun of an Adventure.  Common Sense helps.  For  example,  your 
character cannot Wear a coat until he has Gotten it first.

     To  find  out what your character has with him at  any  given 
time, type TAKE INVENTORY.

     Some, (but not all!) of the words you might find useful are:

Climb     Examine   Leave     Move      Quit      Say
Drop      Go        Light     Pull      Read      Take
Enter     Help      Look      Push      Save      Wear 


     Solving the mystery is up to you. Good Luck!


BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE HULK:

Real name: Robert Bruce Banner
Occupation: Ex-Physicist
Identity: Publicly known
Legal Status: American citizen with criminal record pardoned
Former Aliases: none
Place of Birth: Dayton, Ohio
Marital status: Single
Known Relatives: Jennifer Morris (A.K.A.  SHE-HULK), cousin;
                 Morris Walters, uncle
Group  Affiliation:  Former member of Avengers,  former member  of 
                     Defenders
Base of operations: Mobile

Origin:  Robert  bruce  Banner was a  thin,  bespectacled  nuclear 
physicist  who  worked on a government research  facility  in  New 
Mexico. Having designed and overseen the construction of a nuclear 
weapon  that had a high gamma radiation output,  Banner was  among 
those  present in the instrumentation bunker of the test  site  of 
the bomb's above-ground detonation.  Observing that a civilian had 
breached  security and entered the restricted  test  area,  Banner 
told  his  partner Igor Starsky to delay the  countdown  while  he 
tried to get the civilian to safety.  Starsky,  secretly an  enemy 
agent,  did  nothing,  confident  that  Banner would  die  in  the 
explosion and that the project would come to a halt.  Reaching the 
civilian,  a teen-ager named Rick jones,  Banner threw him into  a 
protective trench.  Before Banner could get himself to safety, the 
gamma bomb exploded, irradiating its inventor with highly charged, 
radioactive  particles.  The radiation had a mutigenic  effect  on 
Banner's  entire  cellular structure,  causing him  to  frequently 
transform into the vastly powerful, green=skinned superhuman named 
by the military at the test site, "the HULK."

Height: 7'  Weight: 1040 pounds  Eyes: Green  Hair: Green
Skin: Green

Powers:  The  HULK  possesses extraordinary  superhuman  strength, 
making  him  perhaps the strongest mortal being ever to  walk  the 
Earth.  The mutation to his body caused by certain frequencies  of 
gamma  radiation fortified his cellular structure  and  added,  in 
some unknown way, over 800 pounds of bone marrow and tissue to his 
body.  The transformation of Banner into the HULK is determined by 
Banner's eMotional state, particularly the emotions of fear, rage, 
or stress.  Perhaps the most important truism concerning the HULK: 
the madder he gets, the stronger he gets.

     The  HULK'S  powerful  leg muscles enable him to  leap  to  a 
height of 3,200 feet and a distance of 1.6 miles. He is capable of 
lifting  90 tons.  Although the HULK has never been provoked  into 
demonstrating a maximum output of strength,  there may well be  no 
upper  limit.  He has been known to lift over 100 tons,  and  leap 
almost  3 miles.  In addition to great strength,  the HULK'S  body 
possesses  a  high degree of imperviousness to  injury,  pain  and 
disease.

     In addition to the HULK,  you'll meet many other  interesting 
characters  in this Adventure.  Some will be friendly,  some  will 
not.  Only by investigating their intents and powers will you ever 
know.
