WHAT IS THE MICROMAN STORY?
===========================

MicroMan is the victim of a top-secret experiment that went terribly wrong.

Wearing a special weapons suit, Bob Jones voluntarily stepped into the
Molecular Miniaturizer created by Dr. Schnapps. Dr. Schnapps turned on the
power and the miniaturization process began.

After a few moments of blinding light, Bob Jones was reduced to the size of
a few microns. The experiment seemed to be a success but the Molecular
Miniaturizer suddenly started smoking and a few seconds later, exploded,
killing all those in the lab, including Dr. Schnapps.

Bob Jones, now known as MicroMan, was never found after the explosion.
However, since the Molecular Miniaturizer and it's creator had both been
destroyed, it didn't really matter--there was no hope to return him to his
original size.

MicroMan now finds himself in a strange and hostile world where he is one
of the smallest inhabitants. Now, his mission is personal: to explore and
stay alive.

How ancient does a computer have to be to have circuit features in the microns scale?

Wait, if every nrmal-sized person in the room was killed, and the machine ruined, how teh hell did a 1 micron sized person survive the blast? >.<

Micro is pretty helpful at making your units survive

But explosions create huge air pressue. The same amout of air-pressure have worse effects on smaller things...

Air pressure is not that bad: micro helps dodge Ravens.
