Description:

The time: Thursday, 11 June 1942, 1300 hours.
 The place:Somewhere in the North Atlantic.     You have been given command of the fleet submarine U.S.S.Helldiver, on patrol for German U-Boats.     Suddenly, a high-priority, coded message is radioed to you fromWashington.
 A specially-equipped B-17 bomber with one VIP aboard hascrashed on the North Polar ice cap (referred to as "the North Pole" inthe game).
 All contact with the plane has been lost.     Aboard the plane is a diplomatic pouch bearing super-secretdocuments regarding the current and future joint war efforts betweenus and our uneasy allies, the Soviets.
 If these documents fall intoGerman hands, the information they contain could cause our side tolose the war.
 Obtaining these documents is ABSOLUTELY VITAL!     Unfortunately, somehow there's been a leak, and a Nazi"deep-cover" agent, who's part of your crew, has informed Berlin ofyour mission.
 You must assume that there are Nazi subs between youand the crash site, with orders to sink you.
 Your spy has also beeninstructed to do all he can to compromise or terminate your mission.BE ON YOUR GUARD AT ALL TIMES!     In order to complete your mission, you must travel throughout theship and, when you've reached your destination, on the ice of theNorth Polar region.
 In many of the rooms are objects -- like theflashlight in the control room.
 It is necessary to have some of theseobjects, as you can't complete the game without them; some of them arenot important.
 But we won't tell you which is which -- that wouldspoil the fun!     Note, also, that the game depends on what YOU do -- that's whyone adventure game manufacturer insists on calling its games "inter-active fiction."  If you don't do anything, neither will the computer!And THAT makes for a boring experience!
