Misc. Author Info       : Disappear I do. Recover I may. Nonsense I will.
Description             : Spawned from the tepid waters of a stagnant
                          project of mine. This weaponset follows the
                          chronicles of General Zharkov into the line
                          between reality and fiction. Go to the Store
                          to discover weapons such as missile walls,
                          rice guns, ricochet rifles, and projectile
                          rainers. Go to the Store to discover a
                          wealth of insanity, one step after the other
                          a fight for survival from oneself.
                          Go to the Store, Zharkov.
