Story so far....

Greedy Mc'intosh has found portal to infinite richness. So he goes
through THE portal on his brand new Light Richness II vessel and starts 
collecting small soft yellow stones.
But inhabitants of Yellow Metal are not so pleased with Greedy Mc'intosh's new 
bright idea. So they want justice. But nobody is helping them (maybe dark
forces (we are not sure)) so they have to take matter on their own hands.


Special info:

Light Richness I was sold because of gambling debts.
Light Richness II was got from army's not so succesfull experiment collection
(this was made by bribing Museum's housekeeper).


Be a man play all 52 levels trough without saving and help Greedy Mc'intosh to
survive.


Special thanks to original vgalib author Tommy Frandsen and svgalib author
