50031203 vii om Hail Satan!

demonology in entertainment is often a reflection and sometimes
an inversion of popular demonological notions. primarily I've
noticed an adversarial relation to the demonic in video games,
such as 'Diablo' (in which one plays humans vanquishing demonic
hordes in a role-playing like 'Adventure' game) or 'Doom' (in
which one plays a liberator Rambo blasting apart humanoid 
demons, with all its spin-offs like 'Unreal' and the like).

however, there are the occasonal exceptions, as with the 
outstanding arcade-type video game (may favorite type with
the linear graphics!) 'Bill the Demon' by Jim Burton, in
which one attempts to obtain an autograph from Satan himself!

I'll let the game (which I recently completed after having
obtained a faulty copy long ago and only now reaching the end): 

=============================================================

The Story of Bill the Demon

History is filled with legends of Demons: evil creatures with
dark powers and horrifying strength. There is Astaroth, who
turns invisible; Mephistopheles, Prince of Deceit; Asmodeus,
Lord of Corruption; and Leviathan, great monster of the deep.

                        You are Bill.

Well, you know -- not every demon can be intimidating. Someone
has to do all the minor work. So while your friends get to
corrupt human souls and kill indiscriminately, you get to yell
a lot. And your mighty power? A loud voice and an eating disorder.

BUT NO MORE!!! You'll show everyone who laughed at you. You're
going to get the autograph of the Devil Himself, to show how cool
you are. And if you have to eat a few souls to get there...
well... what the hell.

=============================================================

You, Bill the Demon, must pass through all nine circles of
Hell, braving the dangers therein, in your quest to get the
Devil's autograph....

TO MY GOOD FRIEND BILL, CONGRATULATIONS! I KNOW HOW HARD
IT IS TO TRAVEL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE CENTER OF HELL ITSELF
-- AFTER ALL, I DID DESIGN THE DAMN PLACE.

ANYWAY, I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS JOURNEY OF YOURS SHOWED
AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT O PERSERVERENCE, STRENGTH, CLEVERNESS,
AND GOOD OLD-FASHIONED EVIL. YOU'LL BE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT
I AM RECOMMENDING YOU FOR AN IMMEDIATE PROMOTION.

                YOUR TRUE FRIEND, SATAN
