THE *PLOT*
==========
Cosmo Dragon decided not to join the Halloween party this year. He had gotten
fed up with it. His "friends" didn't take no for an answer. They did take
something else however. Cosmo Jr, the cute baby dragon, Cosmo's son. This,
Cosmo couldn't handle. Something snapped in his mind. The once friendly dragon
went crazy. He would stop at nothing to get back his son.

WHY OH WHY
==========
Why I wrote this game? >>Yes, I'd like to know why you bothered<< Well,
actually, I didn't. It just happened, >>That sounds scary<< it was almost
finished when I realised what I was doing. >>Making game players' lives
generally miserable?<< Indeed! Anyway, I had drawn the animation of a flying
dragon. I tested it, but felt something was missing. Therefore, I added the
starry background and the asteroids. Keyboard controls followed and I already
had a small game. As usual it got completely out of hand >>I'll say!<< and
this is the result.
