^ 1Page 1 5 *** B L O C K - M A N 1 *** 4Introduction... Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Bentangle ruled by king Triangulos. The king loved to play with blocks ever since he was introduced to them in his childhood. When his daughter, Princess Pentagwin, came of age to marry, King Triangulos devised a brilliant plan to select a worthy husband. The king called all the best masons to his castle in order to construct 17 rooms. Blocks were placed in each room to help suitors reach the doorways, but the rooms were constructed in such a way that great ingenuity would be required to complete them. Block-man, a commoner in Bentangle, was in love with the princess so he went to the castle to win her hand. After entering the king's very first room, Block-man became overwhelmed by the challenge ahead of him. Maybe you can help Block-man overcome his challenge and meet his true love. 3Press any key to continue( or 'X' to exit help)... ^ 1Page 2 5 *** B L O C K - M A N 1 *** 4Main Menu Description...
