Editor note

Murder, vigilantism, revenge, bloody shootouts, family massacres, orgies, animal and human sacrifice, satanism... This was published by Microprose boys and girls. Sure, they do a lot of war simulations with implied violence (killing billions), but I can't recall them ever using so much up-close and personal depictions of so many mature subjects.

Apparently the copy protection questions the game asks about the manual are based on an entirely different manual.
