h/cvr blurb:
The mighty alien fleet from the very latest computer game
thunders across the computer screen...
Hands poised on the joystick, Johnny prepares to blow them
into the usual million pieces...
And they send him a message: _WE SURRENDER._
They're not supposed to do that! Where does it say in the
manual that they're supposed to do that?
But they've done it. This time they don't want to die. They
just want to go home.
Johnny is the only human who knows. So he has to learn how to
wage all-out Peace, and they don't make joysticks with a
`Don't Fire' button...
It's hard, trying to Save Mankind from the Galactic Hordes.
It's even harder trying to save the Galactic Hordes from
Mankind. But it's only a game, isn't it.
_ISN'T IT?_

_We Surrender._
They're not supposed to do that! They're supposed to die. And
computer joysticks don't have `Don't Fire' buttons...
It's hard enough, trying to save Mankind from the Galactic Hordes.
It's even harder trying to save the Galactic Hordes from Mankind.
But it's only a game, isn't it.
_Isn't It?_
