Plot
Hyperspace Delivery Boy! follows the story of Guy Carrington, a courier in training. Guy is sent by Sergeant Filibuster on several dangerous missions in four different locations.
During the course of the game, Guy discovers a secret organization known as "THEM". This organization remains largely mysterious throughout the game. Details about this organization are occasionally revealed by Non-Player Characters (NPCs). These characters are generally hard to find and may be missed on first play.
Guy also has a love interest in Chief Engineer Dolly. In the end however, the love turns out to be mostly unrequited.
