The Story

Born of atomic death! Raised in the shadow of a mushroom cloud! He’s a squid! Not an Octopus! He’s Squid Yes! Not So Octopus! and he’s very irritable.

Let’s face it, you’d be irritable if you were a mutated radioactive squid that nobody wants to talk to for fear of dying a slow painful death after just standing a little too close. And man, some mornings you just want to take it out on the whole wide world. Normally SY!NSO! can keep his temper, those breathing exercises the United States Radioactive Protection Force taught him work wonders. Throw in a nice warm cup of tea and the world usually becomes a nicer place to live in.

Man, it’s not so easy to keep your temper when your home is being invaded by alien robots from the planet Thwip. Must they pick his birthday too? That’s just so inconsiderate.

Oh well, I guess there’s nothing left to do but charge up your patented “Beams Of Electro Death” and annihilate every last one of the little buggers. Terrorising innocent squids is a mistake they won’t ever make again if SY!NSO! has his way. Ok, so maybe he’s not quite so innocent after that incident with the cow and the twig, but that was an accident that could happen to any toxic squid with telepathic powers.

Why they chose SY!NSO!’s abode, nobody will ever know. After they’ve felt his wrath, it’s doubtful they’ll ever return.

Take control of SY!NSO! in this arcade blaster and show the Thwippers that they really picked the wrong house, the wrong morning and the wrong goddamn squid this time…
