THE SECOND CITY-INTRODUCTION

Seeking a change from the tourist haven of Targ
Central City, you visit the Second City.

Bright starlight gives way to the eerie red dusk of 
Targ's southern hemisphere's long winter. Here in 
Second City. where Walton. the great architect, 
recreated many of his fine structures, the Palyars and 
Mechanoids continue their grim conflict.

You'll find much familiar. But things have changed.
Many things.

Following his unfortunate experiences in Central 
City, the Palyar Commander's brother-in-law has 
been seconded here. He's now the Prison Governor
- and no doubt determined to keep an eye on you!

Commodity prices have moved substantially. Gold, 
for example, is up by a hundredfold. But will this kind of
opportunity compensate for the evil forces at play? It 
seems there's a dirty tricks department been working 
overtime here. Let's hope you find it worth the visit.

UNHELPFUL HINT
Triangular doorways, which appear regularly at 
places of interest, give access to the authors 'cheat 
room'. Unfortunately, he has the key!
