This game accounts for about 80% of rage quitting computer games in the 90s

I played it when I was kid when I discovered the first computers in my school. But we had nothing!!! We had access to the game, but no instructions, no guides, no direction, no cheat codes, no magazines, no Youtube, no tutorial, nothing. It was really frustrating if you didn't live in a big city or had access to communities of people that knew these things. There was no freely accessible internet where we could talk to people. And in small towns, we didn't have the latest tech or gaming magazines to tell us about these things.

It was like discovering a brand new fully functional fighter jet but no idea of how the damned thing worked or operated.

We spent hours and hours just banging our heads against the first few levels but never progressed beyond that.
