The game tells the story of Kurt Hectic, a janitor who reluctantly must attempt to save Earth from an alien invasion of gigantic strip mining city-size vehicles named "Minecrawlers". These Minecrawlers are not only removing all of earth's natural resources, but are also crushing any people and cities that get in their way. Aided by his boss, the (possibly) insane inventor/scientist Dr. Fluke Hawkins, and a genetically engineered robotic two-legged/four-armed dog named Bones (although he prefers Max), Kurt must infiltrate each Minecrawler, and fight his way to the pilot, whom he must then kill before returning to Hawkins' in-orbit space station, the Jim Dandy.

Alice in Music Land (also known as Alice in a Musical Country as it has sometimes been translated as) is one of those mid-90s PC obscurities that feels like it could've been conceived in an alternative world through a looking glass. Released in 1996 for Windows 3.1 by the Russian publisher So\USE Interactive Entertainment, it was produced in a very small print run (manufactured in Sweden, of all places) and quietly slipped out of sight on its way to the English speaking world. Despite its obscurity, it later found its way onto Russia's official list of recommended educational music software, leading schools, libraries, and even kindergartens to acquire it. The game supports both Russian and English, further underscoring its unusual international ambitions for the time.
