Story[]
"When Morris Rolph - Morph to his friends - called round to see his uncle, the eccentric Professor Krankenpot, he was surprised to see how excited he looked "Come in my boy, come in. It's finished at last!" he said, ushering him in from the gathering storm. As Morph followed him into his laboratory he wondered if it could really be true, that after months of hard work the professor had finally succeeded in building a teleport machine.
"Watch this!" the professor said, putting Eric the white mouse on to one of the two metal platforms at either end of the enormous room. Morph`s eyes opened wide as the professor parted some curtains revealing a wall full of cogs and gears that were attached to a massive machine.
The professor pulled a metal lever on the wall, and the machine whirred into life. Eric disappeared with a squeak into a haze of sparkling stars and the machine fell silent.
Morph held his breath - would everything work alright? He hoped Eric would be safe! The professor looked around with a triumphant gleam in his eye as he pulled the second lever and the machine gave a cough, spluttered, and the sparkles began to form on the platform at the other end of the room. Morph breathed a huge sigh of relief as the brave little mouse snapped back into reality , twitching its little nose in the air defiantly.
"You did it!" he gasped in amazement. As Eric scampered around the labratory, Morph`s brain raced. Just think of the fun he could have with this machine! He could get into football matches free, get out of school quickly and as for practical jokes, the teleport machine was brilliant. "Can I have a go now?" he yelled, jumping onto the platform.
Professor Krankenpot shook his head "I'm sorry Morris", he said "It might not be safe. I haven't tested it on humans yet, only Eric. Now where is that creature?".
Just then the professor caught sight of the mouse. He was about to jump off the top of the machine onto the first metal lever. "Nooo," the professor yelled, but it was too late! The white mouse leapt onto the lever which slowly sank down. Once more the machine clunked into action and Morph vanished into the swirling stars. The room fell silent once more save for the lashing of the rain against the window panes.
The professor stood frozen to the spot in horror until he was roused by a loud clop of thunder that shook the house to its foundations. "I must get Morris back", he thought, dashing across the room to the second lever. He was just tightening his grip on it when a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, tore through the roof and smashed into the mochine! The force of the bolt sent sparks flying through the air and the machine exploded, scattering its components around the surrounding countryside. Aghast, the
professor creid out "Morph, are you alright? Did I pull the lever in time?". As the room cleared the professor saw a cloud of twinkling atoms and electrons all that remained of Morph!
"On no" my poor nephew," the professor cried "What has become of you?"
"Don`t worry I'm here and I'm feeling fine." Professor Krankenpot was interrupted by a familiar voice. It was Morph "I'm in some sort of state of limbo," he explained "I can't regain my body but I can pull my molecules closer together and change my shape. I'll go and find all the parts while you check the rest of the machine. Once I've collected the missing pieces you can repair the machine and bring me back. It'll be alright, just you see!"

Character[]
Morph may no longer be a normal boy, but there are advantages in the being a collection of disembodied atoms. Morph can, with great effort, metamorphose at will from one state of matter to another. Each of the four states he can assume has its own advantages and, of course, its disadvantages.
4 Morphs Transformations:
| Morris Rolph aka Morph | ||
|---|---|---|
| [Amiga 500/600] | [Amiga 1200] | State description |
| Flexible - rubber ball | The state in which elasticity is the key physical characteristic. Morph will become very rubbery and bouncy just like a beach ball, this enables Morph to bounce vertically and across gaps and float across water. However, sharp spikes, brambles, broken glass and metal corners will burst him. He will also burn in fire, or explode in a heating element. | |
|
| |
| Gas - cloud | In this state Morph may float upwards and thus defy gravity He may also pass through small holes and grilles. However the gas is very combustible and disagrees highly with extraction fans. Unfortunately, as it is lighter than air, it cannot move down wards. | |
|
| |
| Liquid - water drop | When transformed into a liquid Morph may seep through small holes, extinguish fires and squeeze around the sides of lifts. However he can be killed by drains and dissolve in any other liquid. So look out for the streams and treacherous pools. | |
|
| |
| Solid - cannonball | The heaviest state for Morph to be in. He is limited to moving like a cannonball, however this does make him impervious to sharp objects and due to his heavy weight he can smash through certain walls. Take care when Morph is solid as he is extremely heavy and will crumble through flimsy stone paths and sink in liquid of any kind. | |
