Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where players control Guardian Bob in the computer world of Mainframe. The goal is to mend tears in the system caused by the villainous Megabyte and defend various sectors from his viral army, utilizing Bob's multi-purpose tool, Glitch.
Story
WARNING: SYSTEM CORRUPTED...
The computer world of Mainframe is infected, and only Guardian Bob can save it from crashing.
Sinister siblings Megabyte and Hexadecimal combine intellects to tear energy from the Net and harness it in containment fields placed around Mainframe. The explosive force of a tear can take every sector off-line from Baudway to Beverly Hills.
Unbeknownst to Hex, Megabyte initializes the first tear beneath her lair, running a test that, if successful, rids him of an insatiable partner. It works. Hexadecimal's lair crumbles, and Megabyte prepares his attack on the hub of Mainframe—the Principal Office.
The fate of Mainframe is in the hands of Guardian Bob. Formatted by the Supercomputer, Bob's key function is to mend and defend—but he's never faced a threat this massive.
Using Glitch, a multipurpose utility that stores Bob's weapons and tools, Bob must mend Megabyte's tears and defend each sector from a viral army programmed to stop him. Megabyte stages his first assault in Baudway.
Power up the Zipboard! Bob's ready for action.
THE SEVEN SECTORS OF MAINFRAME
Welcome to Mainframe, the high-speed computer world protected by Bob. He knows this place inside and around, but there are a couple of sectors he never thought he'd zip into.
BAUDWAY
Mainframe's retail district and industrial zone is the site of Megabyte's initial attack. Catch air off of ramps to reach elevated areas.
CIT_E
Cruise the twists and turns of Mainframe's Information Highway. Look for shortcuts to the tears that threaten to dim the bright lights of Mainframe's big Cit_E.
BEVERLY HILLS
This posh residential area was designed to disorient outsiders. Each section resembles another so you're never sure if you're backtracking. Deal with enemies before attempting to master the labyrinth.
KITS
The Eight Ball apartment complex is Bob's pad and the center of Mainframe's fastest growing housing sector. Because Kits is under construction, Bob can use service tunnels to reach typically inaccessible areas.
FLOATING POINT PARK
Mainframe's vacation islands are experiencing severe weather due to incoming tears, and the continued forecast looks grim. Follow an island chain until you spot the tear, then mend it as fast as possible.
G PRIME
Megabyte's home sector is completely off-line. It functions as his command post and is rigged with Guardian-munching blenders and gears.
LOST ANGLES
The smallest and most corrupt sector of Mainframe is home to Hexadecimal. If Bob wanders into her lair, he better keep moving. Once she gets her hot hands on him, he's toast.
