Synopsis

Plot

You stumble upon a strange device in your neighbourhood one day, which turns out to be a time machine. With a little trepidation, you shove the lever forward, and propel yourself into the far future. What's this? You are surrounded by the rubble of the city - destroyed by Henry Bowman's B Bomb.

You resolve to use the time machine to prevent the birth of the evil Bowman. Can you succeed or is Earth doomed to hellfire?
