CAN YOU DISCOVER THE SECRET OF
THE GATEWAY
TO OTHER WORLDS?
Your late uncle has left a legacy of mystery and adventure in the decrepit old building he willed to you. The building houses a fascinating array of strange weaponry and bizarre artifacts, but these are as nothing compared with the potential treasure alluded to in a yellowing journal you find in the office of Uncle Bert's "Weapons Shop." If the journal is to be believed, worlds of infinite treasure, adventure, and danger.
But, it isn't going to be easy. Bert didn't tell you where the Gateway is, or how to find it. But there are clues - the worlds of adventure beyond the Gateway can be yours, if you can decipher those clues. Then, all you have to do is embark on your Quest... and survive!
