Funny.
If you're a little ADD this book might be for you.
It is a quick read and will strike you as being a little like Space Balls or The Glass Elevator. Robots that lose track while counting down a bomb and Genius spaceship inventor and some people who've been abducted from their homes. What could possibly go wrong?

The way this guide is put together spoils most of the puzzles. The strategies are not separated enough to get just a hint. It is only good if you don't want to figure out the game for yourself. The guide is good for a laugh, but don't read it until you are through with the game.(edited)
