From BOSS FAQ: Like moria, the object is to become a powerful character who defeats the mega-monster at the end of the game. In BOSS, that monster is the Boss, a mean, rotten, disgusting and vile mafia figure who's out to control the world. To do this you must travel far in search of his hide-out deep under the sewers of New York City, battle terrible alien creatures, and survive against almost impossible odds along the way.
BOSS features three races: humans, Jarwangians, and Daysians. Jarwangians are good nice aliens. Daysians are mean bad ones. Available classer are: Wrestler, Scientist, Guru, Ninja, Soldier, Wanderer, Con-Artist, Thief. Game has rather forgiving time limit.
