'HEY! LOOK AT THIS GREAT NEW GAME I JUST GOT! DOESN'T IT LOOK GREAT? IT HAS FOUR DISKS AND GREAT SOUND AND GRAPHICS TOO! LET'S PLAY THIS RIGHT AWAY.' ... A FEW SECONDS LATER ... 'SHIT!

WHY CAN'T THOSE GREAT GAMES WITH AT LEAST N DISKS BE COPIED TO YOUR HARD DRIVE AND PLAYED FROM THERE? NO MORE 'SHITS', ENDLESS DISK SWAPPING AND LOADING TIMES! ... THIS IS ABOUT TO END ... WELCOME TO YET ANOTHER MENU FROM SUPERIOR... THIS MENU 111 IS VERY SPECIAL ONE... YES, NUMBER HAS THREE SAME DIGITS IN IT BUT THAT'S NOT WHY! ON THIS MENU YOU GET OFFICIAL VERSION OF FFLS HARD DISK DRIVER AND ONE GAME CALLED 'HARLEQUIN' TO GET YOU GOING... HARLEQUIN ORIGINAL WAS SUPPLIED BY SLASHER OF SFX... VERY SPECIAL THANKS! PRESS F1 TO BOOT HARLEQUIN STRAIGHT AWAY OR HELP TO READ FILE 'HQUIN.TXT' FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FFLS HARD DISK DRIVER AND THE GAME ITSELF. IF YOU HAVE TWO DRIVES I SUGGEST YOU WILL BOOT HARLEQUIN FROM DRIVE B BECAUSE ALL GAME POSITIONS ARE SAVED TO AND READ FROM DRIVE A ONLY. THIS ELIMINATES ALL DISK SWAPPING.
