Plot
--
The arcade machine displays a warning sign and wiring hangs out precariously. You fiddle curiously with the controls and then feel a spinning sensation.

When you awaken you can see ghostly figure floating toward you and feel the cold hard stoney floor pressing into you.

You are trapped within the arcade machine due to a dimensional fault and must find a way out.
