Overview:

*From the manual* You are SUPERMAN. Receiving a tip on a bomb scare, you rush to the METROPOLIS waterfront. Dropping into a nearby phone booth, you change into CLARK KENT, mild-mannered reporter for the DAILY PLANET, and continue east (right) toward the METROPOLIS Memorial Bridge. As you approach the Bridge, it explodes! LEX LUTHOR, arch enemy of SUPERMAN, is seen leaving in a heli-pack. Some of the LEX LUTHOR henchmen rush from the scene. A helicopter flies by carrying LOIS LANE. Is she in trouble, or has she hired the helicopter to scoop the story? Another crook sneaks away. This is a job for SUPERMAN! You rush back to the phone booth and emerge as the MAN OF STEEL. "UP, UP AND AWAY" you fly to capture LEX LUTHOR and his gang. But beware! LEX LUTHOR has released three KRYPTONITE satellites that will seek you out. If any touch you, you become weak. You will lose your ability to fly, and to capture and hold on to things. Only by touching LOIS LANE can you be revived. The destroyed METROPOLIS Memorial Bridge is important to the economy of the city. Besides catching LEX LUTHOR and his gang, you must find the three pieces of the Bridge and rebuild it. The helicopter may thry to help, but more than likely it will be a hindrance... sometimes even removing parts of the Bridge that you have put into place. Other times it is a definite ally by snatching away the KRYPTONITE satellite that LEX LUTHOR may be hiding behind. After putting LEX LUTHOR and his gang behind bars, and rebuilding the Bridge, you return to the phone booth and change back to CLARK KENT. Then you catch a subway to the DAILY PLANET and turn in your story.
