"I hope you enjoy my latest work, MegaMania. Here are a few pointers that I'd like to share with all of my fellow MegaManiacs."

"I recommend that you try to stay in the center of the screen. This keeps you from getting trapped in a corner and also gives you the side-to-side flexibility necessary to guide your missiles effectively."

"And here's a piece of advanced strategy to really help boost your scores: bonus points are awarded depending an your energy remaining at the time you destroy the last object in a wave. So, if you have built up your reserve ships, and you're nearing the end of a wave, go ahead and sacrifice a ship. Your energy will be fully recharged, and, if you can quickly destroy the last attacker in a wave, you'll pick up maximum bonus points."

"It's really wild out there, but please take a couple of minutes and let me know how you're doing. Remember, all of us MegaManiacs are in this thing together!"
