Notes:

For those unfamiliar with the TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000, a summary follows:

Joel Robinson, a mild-mannered janitor at Gizmonic Institute, is a master inventor. He can create anything from simple gadgets to intelligent androids. His only problem? He's been shot into space by his jealous boss, the maniacal Dr. Forrester, and is living on the Satellite of Love with no hope of escape (at least for a few seasons.) However, he has built two robots, Tom Servo and Crow, to keep him company.

And he needs that support. Dr. Forrester, in a deranged experiment, sends him a steady stream of bad movies, monitoring his mind and forcing him to watch. Joel manages to maintain his sanity by relentlessly heckling ("riffing") these movies, with the aid of his robot friends.

(This game is set during the early episodes of MST3K.)

In MST3K: Aceland, however, Dr. Forrester has a new, demented trick in the pocket of his green lab coat: A disk containing the ZZT executable and a truly hideous game. Will Joel survive this one?
