Power Monger Manual

Macintosh ® POWERMONGER Bullfrog Using divine inspiration and supernatural computing powers, Bullfrog created the uni- versal hit PowerMonger, the original rape-and-pillage-simulator that redefined the strategy game and single-handedly created an entire genre. PowerMonger was one of the first of an ever-growing number of successful titles devel- oped at Bullfrog’s ultra-secret research lab based in Guildford, England (follow the M25 to Junction 3, take the A3 until you see the inflatable sheep). The game has appeared on every major format — a tribute to its popularity with game players of every shape and size.
