Gremlins

Cute, cuddly, mischievous, clever, dangerous
WARNING! Do not feed after midnight or get them wet. You were warned! Now look at the mess. The Mogwai have multiplied, and some have turned into Gremlins. Can you keep them away from the refrigerator and out of the water? Can you pick up the food, turn off the corn popper, collect the Mogwai and slash out at the Gremlins-before the Gremlins get you?

The Peltzer Popcorn Popper, one of Dad's inventions, seems to be on the side of the Mogwai and Gremlins; every time they come near, it turns itself on and begins spewing out kernels. Hustle to shut it off and pick up the popcorn before the Mogwai can get to it. The same with food from the refrigerator.
Remember, they're not supposed to eat after midnight.
Another Peltzer invention that still doesn't work quite right is the automatic ice-cube maker. It throws ice cubes on the floor, where they melt into puddles. So watch out — the Mogwai and Gremlins might multiply if they're exposed to water!
It's six in the morning. You've survived. But rest assured the Mogwai and Gremlins will come again another time.

MOGWAI
ENCHANTS
He's adorable, with soft fur and a winning personality. Rand Peltzer is totally charmed by the cuddly little creature and vows to take him home. The inscrutible old shop owner in Hong Kong warns, "With Mogwai comes much responsibility. If he gets wet, he multiplies. In direct sunlight, he dies. And if he eats after midnight, he changes into a pupa that hatches into a Gremlin." Rand buys him anyway, and son Billy is delighted; he's never seen quite such an enchanting little fellow before. He names his new pet Gizmo in honor of Dad's business, which is inventing gadgets.
Soon the whole family is in love with the new addition. But Billy's friend accidentally spills water on Gizmo, and five Mogwai spring from the original one! Billy cages them in his living room, but they break out for a wee-hours snack. The situation looks really grem—er grim.
THE RACE IS ON
Mogwai are running wild. You round them up as fast as you can; but just when you think you've returned all your
mischievous little pets to the pen, you spot Gremlins helping them escape. Worse, the Gremlins throw food to the Mogwai so they'll change into pupas. And you know what pupas become!
CHOOSE YOUR
WEAPON
Now Gremlins are not like Mogwai, they're villainous, ugly beasts with evil glints in their eyes, and they're bent on depriving you of one of your lives. Use your sword to do away with them.
Uh oh. You're surrounded. Quick! Fire one of your precious flash cubes to stun the little rascals; they're very sensitive to light. Then maybe you can escape before they revive.
Mogwai and Gremlins are not so very different from human kids. When the television is on, they tend to stop whatever they're doing and watch. Take advantage. Sneak up on them.
