This is the most efficient way to complete the game. It is not the most
enjoyable way to do it.....just the fastest!!
NORTH is always assumed to be towards the top of your screen, SOUTH towards
the bottom, East to the right and WEST to the left. Words printed within
"QUOTATION MARKS" are to be typed into the computer EXACTLY as shown.
THE SOLUTION
After exiting your Escape Pod, go SOUTH to where the Acme Rocket ship is.
Then go EAST until you find the vertical conveyor with the buckets moving
upwards. Walk up as close as possible to where these buckets are. You will
get scooped up by one of them and carried up to a horizontal conveyor belt.
Quickly type "STAND UP" and then "JUMP". You will jump up and pull yourself
up on to the rail. Walk WEST until you find yourself in a Control Room with
a Robot. (If you stand around too long you will get shot!). There is a
machine here called a Grabber hanging on the rail. Walk directly above the
Grabber and "CLIMB DOWN". Press your left arrow key and reverse the Grabber
up to the platform that extends out at the bottom of the screen (press the
arrow key a second time to stop the Grabber). "EXIT GRABBER". Walk SOUTH.
You will SAFELY fall through a chute which leads to a hollowed-out Cave.
This is the Rat's Lair. Walk as far WEST as possible (you will almost be
out of sight) and "LOOK WALL". You will find a hole with a Reactor in it.
"GET REACTOR". Walk EAST and "CLIMB LADDER". After climbing out of the
Rat's Lair, "GET THE LADDER". Remember this spot because you will have to
come back to it later! Go NORTH and then EAST into the remains of the Space
Tanker. Walk through the tunnel. One of the Rats will ambush you in the
tunnel and take the Reactor away from you. You will have to go back to
where you climbed up the ladder out of the Rat's Lair and "LOWER LADDER".
Now, "CLIMB DOWN". Go back to the hole in the wall and "GET REACTOR" again.
Climb back out using the ladder. Don't forget to "GET THE LADDER". Walk
NORTH then EAST to the Space Tanker tunnel. Just inside the tunnel, stop
where the wires hang down and "GET THE WIRE". Continue walking EAST until
you find a Large Robot Head with a broken eye. Walk as close as possible to
this damaged eye (without falling off the bottom of the screen!!) and
"CLIMB". You will climb through the robot's eye and DOWN into a Rubbish Pit
where you'll find a Large Spaceship. This is your means of getting out of
here, but you'll need to fix it first! Walk around the SOUTH side of the
ship (the side facing you) and "USE LADDER". "CLIMB" to the top of the
ship, then "OPEN HATCH".
Once in the ship you should "INSTALL THE REACTOR". You will have to "USE
WIRE" to complete the installation. Once that is done "LOOK AT COMPUTER".
It will tell you that the ship needs a Motivator. "EXIT SHIP", "CLIMB DOWN
LADDER" then "GET LADDER". "CLIMB BACK UP" the robot. Find your way back to
the vertical conveyor with buckets carrying rubbish, and ride one of the
buckets to the top. Jump on to the rail again and walk WEST to the Grabber.
"CLIMB DOWN" onto the Grabber. Using your arrow keys go WEST around the
U-turn (you will end up going East!). Exit the Control Room to the next
screen. Stop the Grabber just East of the SECOND support beam and "LOWER
CLAW". Once you have the Motivator in tow, proceed EAST until you make it
around the U-turn (you will now be going West). Stop as soon as you finish
the U-turn and "LOWER CLAW". Continue going WEST until you reach the
Control Room. Again, stop at the platform, "EXIT" the Grabber, walk SOUTH
and fall through the chute. Walk to the Northeast wall where you originally
found the ladder. "USE LADDER" then "CLIMB LADDER", "GET LADDER". Go back
up the large robot head and climb through the eye again. Using the ladder
"CLIMB" back up the ship and "OPEN THE HATCH". Once you are in the Ship,
"SIT" in the Pilot's seat and "SEARCH CUSHION". Then "LOOK SCREEN" (the
computer screen). Select, in order: "ENGINES", "RADAR" and "TAKEOFF". When
the ship stops in mid-air, select "WEAPONS" and turn on your front shield
(F). Select "FIRE".
After you exit the junk Freighter, "LOOK SCREEN" again and select
"NAVIGATION", "SCAN" and "RESUME SCAN" until Phleebhut appears. Select "SET
COURSE", then "LIGHT SPEED". Once you reach Phleebhut, "LAND".
PHLEEBHUT
"STAND" and "EXIT" your ship. You will see another spacecraft land
elsewhere on the planet. Walk EAST two screens then walk NORTH two screens.
Walk into World O'Wonders and "SELL ORIUM" to Fester. Be sure to hold out
for 425 buckazoids! "BUY ORAT ON A STICK", "BUY ASTRO CHICKEN HAT" and "BUY
THERMOWEAVE UNDERWEAR". "LEAVE" World O'Wonders.
After the Terminator lets you go, walk back to your ship (don't go into it
or stand in front of the ramp!). Walk around behind it and then WEST to the
rock with the pulsating pods. Lure the Terminator (footprints!) under the
arch ehere he will be eaten by the pods. (Be careful not to walk under the
pods yourself!). "USE ORAT ON A STICK" to retrieve the Invisibility Belt
from the Terminator's remains. Walk EAST to your ship and enter it. "SIT"
in the Pilot's seat. "LOOK SCREEN", select "ENGINES" and "TAKEOFF". Again,
"LOOK SCREEN" and select "NAVIGATION", "SCAN" and "RESUME SCAN" until
Monolith Burger appears on your screen. Select "SET COURSE" then "LIGHT
SPEED". Once you reach Monolith Burger, "LAND".
MONOLITH BURGER
Walk WEST to the other side of the Restaurant and up to the Clerk behind
the counter. "ORDER" food. When the menu appears, press "7" to order a
Monolith Fun Meal, then "Q" to quit. Once you "PAY" the Clerk, "SIT" down
at the empty table behind you and "EAT" your food. You will find a prize
(the Decoder Ring) in your food. "STAND" and walk over to the Astro Chicken
arcade game. "LOOK AT THE GAME". You will either have to successfully land
10 chickens or play the game 10 times to get a secret message.
Tips:- Put yourself in SLOW mode until you get the hang of it and are good
enough to play at normal speed. DO NOT make the mistake of holding down the
UP ARROW (Flap) key. PUSH to FLAP, PUSH it again to STOP.
When you get the secret message, "USE THE RING" to decode it.
Walk back to your ship through the airlock door and "ENTER SHIP". "LOOK
SCREEN". Select "ENGINES", "NAVIGATION", "SCAN" and "RESUME SCAN" until
Ortega appears on your screen. Select "SET COURSE" then "LIGHT SPEED". Once
you reach Ortega, "LAND".
ORTEGA
"STAND" up and "WEAR UNDERWEAR", then "EXIT" the ship. Walk "SOUTH" into
the next screen then WEST until you come to a Narrow Rock Bridge. Cross the
bridge and continue SOUTH. You will find two men working with some
equipment. Stop and wait for them to leave. Walk over to the telescope and
"LOOK THROUGH SCOPE". Walk to the crate behind the rock and "GET
DETONATOR". Also, "GET THE POLE" from the Anemometer near the crate. Walk
EAST until you come to a dead end. Find your way to the top of the volcano
and walk down the stairs to the base of the generator. Go EAST and "CLIMB"
the ladder. When you reach the top, walk up the opening and "DROP THE
DETONATOR" into the hole. "CLIMB" down the ladder and find your way back to
where the rock bridge 'was'!! "USE THE POLE" to jump over the crevice. Go
to your ship and "SIT". "LOOK SCREEN", select "ENGINES" and "TAKEOFF".
Again, "LOOK SCREEN", select "NAVIGATION", "SCAN" and "RESUME SCAN".
Continue scanning until Pestulon appears on your screen. Select "SET
COURSE" and "LIGHT SPEED". Once you reach Pestulon, "LAND".
PESTULON
"STAND UP" and "EXIT" the ship. Walk off the screen in any direction. You
will see Scumsoft in the distance. "WEAR THE BELT" then "TURN ON BELT".
"ENTER SCUMSOFT". Walk past the guards into the large doorway and down the
stairs. "PRESS THE BUTTON" and enter the elevator.
SCUMSOFT
You are standing in a circular hallway. Walk NORTH and enter the first door
on the West wall. "GET THE COVERALLS" and walk back out of the Closet.
Continue walking SOUTH until you come to the unlocked door on the wall.
Enter it. As you make your way through the Accounting Department maze make
sure that you "ZAP TRASH" every time you get near a waste basket. Find your
way to the Boss's Office. When the Boss is away, enter his office. "GET THE
KEYCARD" from the top of his desk. Now, walk to the place where Elmo's
picture is hanging on the partition near the copy machine, and "GET THE
PICTURE". Go to the copier and "COPY THE PICTURE" then "PUT THE PICTURE
BACK" on the wall. Walk back to the entrance of the Accounting Department
and exit into the hallway. Find the door with the keycard slot. Walk up to
the door and "INSERT CARD". IMMEDIATELY "HOLD COPY" of Elmo's picture up to
the facial scanner, then enter the doorway. You are now in the room with
the Two Guys trapped in jello. "PRESS THE BUTTON" and walk across the
bridge to the Two Guys. "VAPORIZE JELLO". After being discovered by Elmo
Pug, you are escorted away. As you enter the ring of Nukem Dukem Robots,
it's up to you to knock out Elmo's robot!!
Tips:- There is a slight time-lag between your pressing to PUNCH - or
pressing to BLOCK - and the actual movement of your character on the
screen! You should become familar with this after SAVING your game earlier.
Every wasted movement will use up your energy, so don't punch blindly nor
walk around too much. In fact the best way to beat your opponent is to let
him come to you, block his punches and let him punch his own lights
out!!!
Once you and the Two Guys are safely in your ship and take off, "LOOK
SCREEN", choose "ATTACK SPEED" then "WEAPONS SYSTEM", and set your shield
to "BACK". When the enemy fighters appear, zero in on their ship with the
cross-hairs using your arrow keys. When you have them locked on, "FIRE".
The ships approach from the back and then the front, and will continue this
pattern until you have shot several of them down. You will need to switch
your shield on each pass. Watch the radar box at the bottom left of your
screen to tell you which direction the fighters are coming from. If you
make it through this, you're home free!!!!!!!!!
