GOOD and EVIL, LIGHT and SHADOW have forever waged a war against one another. The fighting has been portrayed in books, through song, on painted canvas and even in motion pictures. This tale revolves around a different medium, a fledgling enterprise known as the VIDEO GAME.

His name was Maxwell Collins (the fat guy on the left). He spent his days toiling away as a retailer in a small Mid-American town. Selling, buying and trading video games was his trade. But, he longed for something more.
Maxwell longed for a different life. A life full of adventure, danger and meaning. Perhaps that is why he so loved video games. For, in a game, he could be anything or anyone he wanted. It was a poor substitute to the life he longed for but it was something at least.
