Specimen X-72 : EX-LARGE

The culmination of years of goverment research into creating a genetically enhanced turkey that would provide the food of twenty average sized birds while consuming only eight times as much. His intelligence increased thanks to gene manipulation, he became sentient to his plight and escaped, wrecking havoc over the country-side.

A year ago, a young boy stopped his menace. His name was Nicky.

Now that unholy terror has returned and kidnapped Nicky's friend Tad, a tadpole who received similar genetic splicing as him. Nicky will be forced to complete his ninjitsu training to find and defeat the fiend.

The game uses ASCII graphics that should work on nearly any PC available. The key repeat rate (see Windows -> Control panel) will need to be set fairly high to complete the later portions of the game. The game makes extensive use of the PC Speaker; be aware of this if on a system where such noise is immutable.

Nick primarily moves through a primitive map system, where he will move in one of four directions assuming he is not blocked by a wall. The "Select" button (space bar by default) will allow him to investigate specific areas.

Some scenes involve fighting by moving and using the select button to attack. Nick can hurt any character that is directly next to him.

The end of the game is an RPG battle which was influenced by Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger.
