It's the so-called "adventure virus".Instead of simply copying itself,
it will randomly create a small text adventure game for the user of
the computer like this :

###
You are on a hill.Suddenly a mutated sheep attacks.

What now?

###

If you enter the wrong commands, the virus will format your hard
disk.If you defeat the sheep (or other monster) , the virus will
delete itself.

This virus is extremely dangerous, there are dozens of different
variations that force you to play and win games like a simple Pacman,
a small role-playing game or Space Invaders.

If you don't win the virus-games, the virus will format your hard
disk.

Beware !

If you don't E-Mail it to at least ten friends in the next 24 hours,
the neighbor's dog will get mange, my wife will become pregnant,
chicken will begin to taste like tofu, starbucks will begin serving
coffee that actually tastes good, the President's IQ will hit enter
into three digit territory, Rev. Farahkan will ebgin keeping Kosher,
and the gas mileage of every vehicle in North America will drop
11.375%. All in all, not terribly bad, except my wife is
post-monopausal.

Oh. I almost forgot. The sky IS falling!
