   1 You will need something to make it in - entering the locker, nowthat you can think straight     again, will remind you to twidd-le the coat hook, which will    disclose a metal ladder. Climb  this to a secret laboratory     where you will find a test tube and a spatula (very good for    mixing things).
   1 You may now explore below     decks and you should find the   rubber mat, a long aerial cable and a high power acid battery.
   1 You can see a mattress and a  shelf, but examination shows    that the shelf is too high to   reach, so you jump on the matt- ress, bounce up and bang your
   1 You are the captain of the SpaceCruiser Galaxy, boldly going    where no man has gone before!   While cruising around you pick  up an Intergalactic Distress    Signal, and it's here that the  adventure begins.
   1 With the battery inserted,    pressing the switch gets up the dust and something else, too -  was it a bit of cloth? The only way to find out is to dismantle the vacuum, but a word of warn- ing here - switch it off first! So now you have two bits of a   map which need sticking togetherbut you didn't find any glue....Well, never mind - make some!
   1 Why is the hotel locked? How do you deal with a stubborn donkey?Who is the lady in the golden   cage?

   1 Unfortunately, I have been    unable to progress beyond these three locations!
   1 Unfortunately there are a numberof points which let the game    down. Our old friend the Sudden Death Syndrome is here, go in   the wrong direction near the seaand you are dead! Words have to be typed in full and there is noEXAMINE command. Input is in theverb/noun format - a more       advanced parser would have been expected in such an expensive   game.
   1 Unfortunately the fruit which   provides eternal life has kept  alive some prehistoric creatureswhich, as you may have guessed, will cause you some problems.
   1 This is an exceedingly friend-ly game - examining anything andeverything you come across      yields many useful, if sometimescryptic, clues.
   1 This is a great adventure from  Melbourne House and should keep you busy for a while. Now, if   only I could get out of the     padded cell...
   1 This enables you to get a key from the shelf and then to un-  lock a locker. At this juncture,the locker yields no treasure,  only showing you a pin-up       picture and a coat hook, and    your poor head is aching and youcan't think straight!
   1 This adventure is a refreshing  change from the usual text and  graphic games. The top half of  the screen is the comic strip   and scrolls from right to left  every time something happens or when a command is entered.
   1 There is a ticker tape in the   safe, but you must not insert itin the teleprinter until you    have sent the aerial to the sur-face. You examined the aerial   and read the instructions,      didn't you? So you know that theaerial must be connected by     cable to the transmitter.
   1 There is a bug within the     first three locations! If you   kill the guard and go west, the text informs you that he is     alive!
   1 There are some colourful      characters in this game such as Tweedle Dee, Mr Video, Soapy,   Tricks and Cracker. There's alsoa character with white Gucci    shoes who will fit you up in a  pair of wellies set in concrete and despatch you to a watery    grave after 200 moves.

   1 The sickbay has a medicine cup- board, but it is locked. Not to worry - examine the Captain's   desk, open the drawer and find apaper clip with which you can   pick the lock.
   1 The problem here is that you  can't stay in the cold room     because of the awful smell - theanswer to this is to wear a     stronger smell, i.e. aftershave.I know you haven't found any yetbut read on, mon petit advent-  urer!
   1 The map from the navigation   area is made of cloth and torn, so on the grounds that a map    should be useful, let's find theother bit. No sign of it any-   where, so it must be in that    pile of dust, but to get it we  need the vacuum cleaner which is
   1 The game begins outside Dr Lee'smansion where strange things    have been happening. The object of the adventure is to find out what's going on in the mansion.

   1 So, time is very important andyou are told when it is morning,afternoon or evening. Certain   activities can only be performedat certain times and yet it is  possible to spend the night in  the bank!
   1 So you look around for some-  thing to wear on your head - no tin helmets or crash helmets    available, but in the galley youwill find a vegetable strainer. Yes, you look silly wearing it, but there's no one to see you,  so go on!
   1 So get the battery, open the    hatch and make your way to the  transmitter. More problems!     There's a radio coil missing, itlooks remarkably like the bed   spring that appeared when you   jumped on the mattress. So,     insert the spring and the cable.

   1 Now you have a pill bottle    with instructions to take one   dissolved in water. You can't   get your fingers in the bottle, so the trick here is to tip a   pill out. Not so easy, though - the pill bounces away on the    metal floor, and anyway, you    have nothing to dissolve it in.

   1 In the engineering section youwill have found a toolbox con-  taining a rubber sucker and a   screwdriver. The latter is not  yet required, (you could drop itby that interesting looking pileof dust for later use) but the  rubber sucker, when attached to a broom from the cupboard in theJunior Rates Office, will make auseful sink plunger.
