PERIL IS MY MIDDLE NAME
"Roderick Hero here (R. Hero to my associates), President and Chief Executive Officer of H.E.R.O., Inc., inviting you to join me in a tricky maze of mine shafts rife with the kind of danger we daring types only dream of. Until now, that is!
"Think o fit: miners trapped in a mountain bubbling with lava rivers and magma deposits, mine shafts crawling with vile vermin, all lethal to the touch. Oh, it's just too awful--and too exciting!
"I'm armed with equipment of my own invention. My Prop-pack carries me to ever deeper depths, while I zap creepy critters with my Microlaser Beam. Dynamite demolishes walls that get in my way. If my supply lasts, that is. And my power.
"Did I mention the terrible tentacles that loom up out of lava? Or the massive walls that can crush me? What about the raft I ride on? Oh, never mind. Come along, and make yourself useful".

Activision Catalog 1984:
I had been traveling farther south. Word came from a nearby village of a terrible mine of disaster. Many miners were trapped with no means of escape. The closer I came to the site, the warmer the ground felt beneath my feet. Then, as the villagers assisted with my gear and shouted a chorus of encouragement, I suddenly realized. I was being lowered, not merely into a mineshaft, but - a volcano.
