It's... Name That Box Blurb!

Dastardly · 01 March 2014, 21:29

Choose a snippet of some blurb text from an Amiga game box and post it here to see who can name that blurb first. As in the screenshot thread, the correct guesser gets to choose the next blurb. Obviously certain key bits of information need to be omitted to keep it challenging

First up...

"The evil *****, tyrant of the highest order, lies hidden deep in his underground lair. Allied security forces demand his reign to cease, one man is needed, that man is you".
