~INTRODUCTION:
`
`
`Having played  around with  Tsunami's Blue  Force for over a year
`now, I  decided to  turn my  attention to  their latest creation:
`Return to  Ringworld.   Boasting full  commentary and  character-
`speech, this is a real multimedia CD-ROM game though I have found
`the puzzles  to be  trivial, the  action  uninteresting  and  the
`ending very  unsatisfying.   Oh well,  see what  you think as you
`play through it with this concise waltk-thru' solution.

~THE SOLUTION:


`You start  the game  as Quinn in his quarters aboard the Lance of
`Truth.   As with  almost all  adventures, your  first  few  tasks
`centre around the collection of artefacts for use at later stages
`in the game.
`
`First of  all, click the right button and select the 'use' cursor
`(the hand)   from  the ensuing  menu.   Click this  on the  green
`object leaning  against the  desk-like unit  at the  right of the
`screen:   it's a  Tnuctipun Stepping  Disk!   Now click  the same
`cursor on  the top  of the circular table-like piece of furniture
`centre-screen.   As the  General Purpose  Table rises, the Stasis
`Negator Gun  will be revealed.  Click the 'use' cursor on this as
`well and you will collect it.
`
`Now click  the 'use'  cursor on the door on the back wall to exit
`Quinn's quarters.
`
`You are  now at the Deck Two Corridor.  Click the 'use' cursor on
`the Door labelled '1'  (the one nearest the left-hand edge of the
`screen), and  you will  enter the  General Purpose  Lab.  Once in
`there, click  the use  icon once on each of the following objects
`to collect  them:   the Reader  Device   (purple,  on  the  third
`Storage Shelf  up at  the right-hand  side of  the screen);   the
`Hyper-Conducting Attractor  Unit   (grey with  a handle,  on  the
`floor by  the Storage Shelves); and the Subminiature Sensor Probe
`(like a  big needle, inserted in the Algorithmic Array Console by
`the Storage  Shelves).   Once all  of these  items  are  in  your
`possession, click  the 'use'  cursor on  the Door  by  which  you
`entered the room to exit back out to the Deck Two Corridor.
`
`This time,  click the 'use' cursor on the Door labelled '2'  (the
`one in  the centre  of your  screen),  and  you  will  enter  the
`Elevator.   Once in  there, select the Bridge as your destination
`by clicking  the  'use'  cursor  on  the  button  by  the  label:
`'Bridge'.
`
`When you  reach the  Bridge, click  the right-hand  mouse  button
`again, and  this time  select the  'speech' cursor from the menu.
`Click this  cursor on  Miranda  (the lady in pink sitting towards
`the left-hand edge of your view).  As you will see, she wants you
`to find  some way  of disabling  the Stasis  Field on the Quantum
`Drive.   That will be your second task after first extracting the
`Infodisk from Quinn's  (your)  body.
`
`When you have concluded your conversation with Miranda, turn your
`attention to  Seeker  (the  bear-like  creature  sitting  centre-
`screen).  Click the 'speech' icon on him, and when presented with
`a menu  of possible  questions to  ask him,  select  option  '2'.
`After  more   discussion  you  will  be  presented  with  another
`conversation menu.   This  time select  option  '3'.    When  the
`conversation comes  to an end, select the 'use' cursor again from
`the right-mouse-button-menu and click this on the Door on the far
`wall to re-enter the Elevator.
`
`This time select Deck Five as your destination.
`
`Upon arrival,  turn your attention to the loose panel at the base
`of the  wall towards  the right-hand  side of  your view.  First,
`click the  'use' cursor on the panel itself and you will shunt it
`out of  the way.  Now click again, this time on the Multi-Purpose
`Retention Clamp which had been hidden behind this panel.
`
`From this  location you  also need  to  retrieve  some  Isolinear
`Optical Fiber.   To  do this, click the 'use' cursor on the loose
`wires hanging  from the  hole next  to the  locked  Door  at  the
`bottom-right corner of your view.  When you have the Fiber, click
`the 'use' cursor on the Door at the left-hand end of your view to
`enter Sick Bay.
`
`Once inside  Sick Bay,  take a  look at  the back wall. There you
`will see  a Storage  Cabinet with five buttons visible just below
`it.   Click the  'use' cursor on any one of these buttons and the
`door panel  of the  Cabinet will descend giving you access to the
`Com-Scanner contained within.  Collect this by clicking the 'use'
`icon on it.
`
`Now click  the 'use'  cursor on  the large(ish) red Button on the
`side of  the Autodoc  in the  centre of  your  view.    You  will
`automatically climb  inside.   When presented  with the  menu  of
`options, select  'Advanced Procedures'  by clicking on the Button
`alongside this label.  DAMN!  -  You need an access code, and you
`do not  have one.  Without the code you cannot continue, so click
`on 'open  Door' and  you will automatically exit the Autodoc once
`again.
`
`Now click  the 'use'  cursor on the Door of Sick Bay to exit back
`to the  Deck Five  Corridor, and  then on the Elevator Door  (the
`one marked  '5' in  the middle  of  your  screen)  to  enter  the
`Elevator.   Once inside  the Elevator,  select the Bridge as your
`destination...
`
`When back  at the  Bridge, select  the 'speech'  cursor again and
`click this  on Miranda.   Select  response '2' from the resulting
`conversation menu  to ask  her about  the Autodoc.  She says  she
`wants a  'Reader', so  select  (by clicking on...)  the Personal,
`Programmable Reader  from  your  inventory,  and  click  this  on
`Miranda.   When you  get the Reader back, this time programmed to
`the Autodoc's requirements, click the 'use' cursor on the Door on
`the far wall to once again retire to the Elevator.

`From here you need to go back to Sick Bay.  As before, to do this
`simply select  Deck Five  in the  Elevator, then  click the 'use'
`cursor on the left-hand Door when you arrive there.
`
`Back in  Sick Bay,  select the  Isolinear Optical Fiber from your
`inventory and  click this  on the  Autodoc's Connecting  Junction
`(the hole  with green  wires already  visible through  it).   Now
`select the  newly re-programmed  reader from  your inventory  and
`click this  on area  directly right  of the  Connecting  Junction
`described as an 'ideal place to put a small device'.  You are now
`ready for  foreign-object extraction,  so click once again on the
`red  Button   to  enter  the  Autodoc,  and  re-select  'advanced
`procedures' from the menu.
`
`When the Infodisk has been extracted from your body, select 'open
`Door' again and you will climb back out of the Autodoc.  Now turn
`your attention  to the  yellow Button  below the  red one  on the
`Autodoc's exterior.   Clicking on this with the 'use' cursor will
`result in a small Drawer opening which contains the Infodisk.  Do
`this, then  collect the  disk by  clicking on  it with  the 'use'
`cursor.
`
`That concludes  you work  in Sick  Bay, so  it is  time to leave.
`Click on the Door with the 'use' cursor again to exit back to the
`Deck Five  Corridor, then  on the Elevator's Door to enter there.
`This time, select Landing Bay Two as your destination.
`
`Upon arrival,  click the  'use' cursor  on the  Three Metre Cable
`Harness  (the red/orange/yellow object coiled on the floor in the
`middle of  the room)   to collect it.  Now click the 'use' cursor
`on the small Door on the far wall to enter the Vacuum Suit Room.
`
`Once inside,  take a  look at the 'wardrobe' towards the right of
`your screen,  where the  Vacuum Suits are stored.  On either side
`of this  are two Cabinets  (appearing as darker grey squares with
`a red  stripe down  their right-hand  sides).   Click  the  'use'
`cursor on  the  left-most  Cabinet  to  open  it,  then  on  it's
`contents:   the Sonic  Stunner.   Do the  same for the right-most
`Cabinet and collect the Canister of Laser Diffusion Aerosol which
`is stored  within.   Now click  on the  Door to  exit back out to
`Landing Bay Two.
`
`From back  outside in  Landing Bay  Two, select the Cable Harness
`from your  inventory, and click this on the Hand Grip  (appearing
`as a  light grey rectangle to the right of the Door to the Vacuum
`Suit Room).   Now select the Hyper-Conducting Attractor Unit from
`your inventory,  and click this on the other end of the now-tied-
`up Cable Harness.
`
`Next, bring  up the right-hand-mouse-button menu again and select
`the 'walk'  icon from  it.  Click this at the far right-hand edge
`of your  view and  you will  see that  as  Quinn  walks  in  that
`direction, your view scrolls revealing more of the room.
`When the  right-hand wall  of the  room comes into view, stop and
`click the  'use' cursor  on the  Control Panel at the base of the
`wall near the right-hand end of your view.  Clicking on this will
`unfold the  Magnetic Crane  controls which you will automatically
`then go and sit on.
`
`When the  POV shot  of Quinn  sitting on the Crane controls comes
`up, click  on the 'Operate Crane' Button and a new set of Buttons
`will appear.   Click  again, this  time on  the  'Tractor  Field'
`toggle, so  it reads 'Tractor Field On'.  Now click on the 'right
`arrow' Button  4 times,  then the  'up arrow'  Button 14 times so
`that  the  Hyper-Conducting  Electromagnet  attracts  the  Hyper-
`Conducting Attractor  unit tied  to the  end of the Cable Harness
`into the air.
`
`When the Cable Harness is pointing directly upwards, do not click
`on any further direction Buttons.  Instead, click on 'Done' twice
`and you  should stand  away from  the Crane  controls just before
`they fold  themselves away again.  When this has happened,  click
`the 'use'  cursor on  the now-vertical Cable Harness and you will
`climb up it to the Engineering Loft above.
`
`Once you get up to the Loft, click the 'use' cursor on the small-
`looking Door just visible at the left-hand side of your view, and
`you will enter the Engine Compartment.
`
`Stop when  you enter  this new  location  because  the  Laser  is
`dangerous and  will need  disabling  before  you  can  turn  your
`attention to  the offending  Stasis Field   (the multi-shade grey
`rectangle above  the laser)   which  Miranda told you to sort out
`when you were talking to her earlier.
`
`To disable  the Laser,  firstly  select  the  Canister  of  Laser
`Diffusion Aerosol, and click this on the Laser itself.  This will
`protect you  from being  hit...at least  for now!  Now select the
`Multi-Purpose Retention  Clamp from your inventory and click this
`on the  Laser as  well.  Next, click the 'use' cursor on the Door
`as if you were going to leave the room, and you will find that as
`you are  about to  do so, the Laser will try to shoot at you, and
`because it  was restricted  by the  Clamp it  will  overheat  and
`explode!  What fun!
`
`With the  Laser out  of the  way we can turn out attention to the
`Stasis Field  which is  engulfing this compartment of the Quantum
`Drive.   First, select  the Com-Scanner  from your  inventory and
`click it on the '?' icon beside the visual representation of your
`inventory at  the bottom of your screen.  This will open a close-
`up of the Com-Scanner with 'Talk' and 'Scan' buttons, a frequency
`slider, and  a visual  display.   Click the  'use' cursor  on the
`frequency slider  at the bottom of the close-up and drag this one
`notch to  the right.   You  should hear  a  noise  similar  to  a
`telephone dialing-tone.   Now  click anywhere off the close-up to
`close it, before re-selecting the Com-Scanner from your inventory
`and this time clicking it on the Laser.
`
`Now select  your Sonic Stunner from your inventory and click this
`on  the   Com-Scanner  now  affixed  to  the  Laser.    You  will
`automatically take  a few  steps back before turning and shooting
`the Com-Scanner which will result in the cloud of Laser Diffusion
`Aerosol being dissipated.  Click the 'use' cursor on the unharmed
`Com-Scanner to retrieve it, then get the close-up of it again and
`drag the  notch back  to its  original position  to turn  off the
`annoying tone.
`
`Next, select  the Programmable  Sensor Probe  from your inventory
`and click  it first  on the  Stepping Disk,  then on  the  Stasis
`Negator Gun,  both also  in your inventory.  Now select the Fully
`Charged Power  Capsule from  your inventory and click this on the
`Stasis Negator  Gun to  power it  up.  Finally, select the Stasis
`Negator Gun itself from your inventory and click it on the Stasis
`Field.   You will  retreat a  little  again  before  turning  and
`blasting the field away once and for all!
`
`You have  finally finished  here.   Don't bother  collecting  the
`Canister of  Laser Diffusion  Aerosol or  the Retention  Clamp as
`these are no longer useful to you.  Simply click the 'use' cursor
`on the Door and this time you will leave the room back to Landing
`Bay Two.
`
`Click the  'use' cursor  on the  Cable Harness again and you will
`climb back  down to  the main  floor.   Now click on the Elevator
`Door and  you will  retreat to the relative comfort and safety of
`the Elevator again.
`
`Select the Bridge as your destination again, and when you arrive,
`select the  Infodisk and  click this  on Seeker.  When you finish
`conversing, select  the 'speech'  cursor and click this on Seeker
`too.   As you  do this,  you should automatically say "Success!".
`If not,  click the  'speech' cursor on Miranda or Seeker and talk
`to them  about anything  and everything  until  this  event  does
`occur.   As soon  as you  utter the word "success", you will lose
`control of  the game   (meaning that you have no control over the
`events for  a short  period of time) as the first out-scene rolls
`into action...
`
`
~`                             !SAVE!
`
`
`When you  recover control of the proceedings, select the 'speech'
`cursor and  click this  on Seeker  to ask his opinion on what you
`should do  next.   He tells  you to  'scan the  underside for the
`opening'.   To do  this, click the 'use' cursor on the monitor of
`your workstation to your character's right, and you will bring up
`the DSBS  Computer Menu.   Click  on the  'Scan Ops' Button, then
`the  'Passive  Enabled'  Button    (it  will  toggle  to  'Active
`Enabled'), then the 'Deep Scan' Button.  Follow this with a click
`on the  'Geographical' Button,  then  when  the  picture  on  the
`display changes,  a click  on the  page up  Button   (the  Button
`furthest left  on the  display).   The scan will now be made, and
`the computer will soon locate Fist of God.
`
`After a  spate of  talking between  yourself, Seeker  and Miranda
`which you  have no  control over,  you and Seeker will eventually
`leave your  ship and  enter the  Village of  the  Canyon  People.
`Watch as  you automatically  investigate the dying village chief,
`then get  shot at.   When  Quinn and Seeker dive into the Crater,
`you recover  control.  Quickly select the Stasis Negator Gun from
`your inventory  and click  this on  the white Trooper standing on
`the cliff  above you.   This  will  dissipate  his  Stasis  Field
`Armour.   You can  now kill  him for good by selecting your Sonic
`Stunner from your inventory and clicking this on.

`With the  Trooper gone,  you and  Seeker will automatically climb
`back out  of the  Crater.   Select the  'speech' cursor again and
`click this  on the  Canyon Chief.  First ask him what happened to
`his village  by choosing  option '1'  from the conversation menu.
`When he  has answered that question, click the 'speech' cursor on
`him again  and this  time ask  him about  the Tnuctipin  Ship  by
`selection option  '1' from  the new  conversation menu.  Finally,
`click the 'speech' cursor on him for a third time and after a few
`last words he will die...
`
`Yourself and  Seeker will  now automatically retreat to the Lance
`of Truth  (your ship)  and  there  will  be  an  long,  automatic
`conversation between  the two  of you  and Miranda.  When you are
`shown a  conversation menu  with three possible responses, select
`the option  by which  you tell  the others that you will scan for
`the ARM's location.
`
`To carry  out this  scan as  you have  promised, first  click the
`'use' cursor  on your  Monitor to  start up the Computer.  Again,
`press the  'Scan Ops'  Button, but  this time  leave the 'Passive
`Enabled' Button  alone as  Miranda advised,  and only  press  the
`'Short  Scan'   Button.  This   time  you   need  to  select  the
`'Technological' option when asked about the type of scan.
`
`After being  given the results of the scan there will be a little
`more conversation  after which  you  will  be  presented  with  a
`further conversation menu.  From this, select option '3'  -  'The
`most prudent  course would be to go back out the way we came in'.
`More speech  will follow,  then you  will fly  the Lance of Truth
`back through the fist of God and onto a huge space ledge.
`
`Having arrived  on the  Space Ledge  there will be more automatic
`conversation between the three of you, then you will be presented
`with another  conversation menu  from  which  you  should  select
`option '3'.   After  a quick  argument with  Miranda, Seeker will
`leave the Bridge for the Vacuum Suit Room, which is exactly where
`you must head for now.
`
`Follow Seeker  by clicking  the 'use'  cursor on  Elevator  Door.
`Select Landing Bay Two as your destination from the Elevator, and
`once there  click the 'use' cursor on the Door on the far wall to
`enter the Vacuum Suit Room
`
`When Seeker  has finished  moaning, click the 'use' cursor on one
`of the  Oxygen Tanks   (red,  on he  floor  by  the  Vacuum  Suit
`'wardrobe')   to take  one.   Now click  the 'use'  cursor on the
`Space-suit Storage  Control Panel  to the  left of  the left-most
`Storage Cabinet   (also by the Vacuum Suit 'wardrobe').  When the
`close-up of  this Control Panel appears, click the 'left' Button,
`then the  'select' Button.   Now  click anywhere off the close-up
`to close  it.   Have a  quick look at the selected Vacuum Suit by
`clicking the  'eye' cursor  on it.   It should be a suit suitable
`for the  average human male.  If it is not, use the Control Panel
`again to find one that is suitable by scrolling through them with
`the 'left'  and 'right' buttons, selecting them with the 'select'
`button, then  viewing them  with the  'eye' icon  as we have done
`with this first one.
`
`When you find a suitable Vacuum Suit, select the Oxygen Tank from
`your inventory  and click this on in, then click the 'use' cursor
`on it  as well  and you  will climb  inside.   Finally, click the
`'use' cursor  on the  air lock  Door (the bulky Door at the left-
`hand side  of your view), and you and Seeker will leave the Lance
`of Truth.
`
`Once outside on the Space Ledge, select the 'walk' icon and click
`it at the far left-hand side of your view.  When you get into the
`next screen,  do exactly  the same again so you walk another full
`screen to  the left.   Keep  walking in this same way to the left
`many times.   Eventually,  the ARM will land and invade the Lance
`of Truth  with Miranda  still inside!   Do  not worry  about this
`event as  it supposed  to happen and will, believe it or not, end
`up to be vital to your success in the game.
`
`At this  point in  the proceedings  you are  automatically  given
`momentary control  of Miranda  to make a conversation menu choice
`for her.    Choose any of the responses from the menu as they all
`have the  same eventual  outcome.  Soon the action will return to
`Seeker and  Quinn on  the Space  Ledge floor and Miranda is taken
`away aboard  your ship  leaving you  stranded on  the giant Space
`Ledge.
`
`This part of the game is more difficult to explain that others as
`there is  no set  pattern of  actions you  must make  to succeed,
`simply one  goal which  can be  achieved in a series of different
`ways.
`
`Basically, you  are stranded  on an immense Space Ledge which you
`must escape  from in  order to  continue your  adventure.   It is
`littered with  space debris, most of which is useless.  There are
`also, however,  ten useful  items which  you must to collect from
`all corners  of the  Ledge to  aid your escape.  To do this, move
`Quinn and  Seeker around  the Ledge, find the objects, then click
`on them with the 'use' cursor and you will pick them up.
`
`Also on  the ledge  are various  spaceships. Most  of  these  are
`useless as  they have  crash-landed some time ago and their hulls
`are no longer intact.  It is worth noting, however, that you will
`have to  visit some of these crashed ships anyway because some of
`them house  two or  three of the 10 objects mentioned above which
`you will need to collect.
`
`One of  the spaceships  on the  Ledge, however,  has  not  crash-
`landed.   It was built to transport 'people' around the Ledge and
`is therefore  called a Ledgehopper.  When you have found 8 of the
`10 items  I have mentioned above, you must go to this Ledgehopper
`with both  Seeker and  Quinn.   As I  will explain in due course,
`most of  the items you have found on the Ledge, together with two
`more found  inside the  Ledgehopper, will  then fit  into various
`'bays' on  the side  of the  ship.  When they are all fitted, the
`ship will then be ready to transport you off the Ledge.
`
`To help  you find  the ten  items which you will need to collect,
`the Ledgehopper and the crashed spaceships on the immense area of
`the Ledge, you can use your Com-Scanner.  First, select this from
`your inventory,  then click  it on  the '?' icon at the bottom of
`your screen.   When  the close-up  of the Scanner appears, select
`the 'scan'  Button and  it will  perform a scan of the Ledge, the
`results of which can then be seen on the display above.  Together
`with the  perimeter walls,  there are  six other  types of things
`which will show up on the scan.  They are as follows :-
`
`
~`                        RED DOT  -  Quinn
~`                     ORANGE DOT  -  Seeker
~`                 DULL GREEN DOT  -  One of the 10 items
~`            BRIGHT GREEN STRIPE  -  A crashed space-ship
~`                BRIGHT GREEN DOT -  The Communications Tower
~`BIG DULL _and_ BRIGHT GREEN DOT  -  The Ledgehopper
`
`
`Now I  have explained the basic theory behind this section of the
`game, I  will tell  you exactly  which locations  to go to on the
`Ledge, which  character to  go there  with, and which order to do
`this in.   When describing the location which I want you to go to
`next, rather  than telling  you to  go north,  south, east,  west
`etc., I will explain the location in terms of where it appears on
`the scan.   Carry  out a  scan with your Com-Scanner as described
`above, then  use the results of the scan to use as a guide to the
`direction you should then go in.
`
`When you  know which  direction to  go in  (get this by comparing
`where your  current location  is on the scan  [either the red dot
`if you  are Quinn,  or the  orange dot  if you are Seeker] to the
`location of  your destination), use the 'walk' icon to go in that
`direction until  you arrive.   If in doubt about whether you have
`arrived at  the right  place, check  with  another  scan  to  see
`whether the  dot representing  your character  is right on top of
`the dot representing the correct location.
`
`Okay, let's get movin'...
`
`First of  all, move  Quinn to  the Communications Tower.  This is
`represented by  a bright green dot in the centre at the bottom of
`the scan.   When you arrive, click the 'use' cursor at the top of
`the Ladder  which extends  up the  Tower's side.   When Quinn has
`climbed to  the top  of the ladder and you are shown the close up
`of the mechanism, click the 'use' cursor first on the lever, then
`on the red Button behind it.
`
`After closing  the close-up,  click the 'use' cursor right at the
`top of  the Communications  Dish to collect the Battery which has
`been inserted  there.  When you have the Battery, click the 'use'
`cursor back  at the  bottom of the Ladder, and after a moment you
`will be  shown the  close-up again.   At  the close-up, click the
`'use' cursor  on the lever to extend the Communications Dish back
`to the  vertical position,  then close  the close-up and you will
`automatically descend the remaining distance to the bottom of the
`ladder.
`
`Your next  location should be the dull green dot directly left on
`the scan  from the  red dot  which represents  you.   This dot is
`between the  one representing  the Communications  Tower, and the
`one  in   the  lower-left-hand   corner  representing  a  crashed
`spaceship.   When you  arrive you  will find the Guidance Control
`Module.  Collect this by clicking on it with the 'use' cursor.
`
`Now continue  left to  the location represented by a bright green
`stripe at  the far  bottom-left-hand corner  of the  scan.   This
`represents a  smashed-up ship  which in  itself is  useless,  but
`which has three of the ten items you are going to need to collect
`to aid your escape off the Ledge.
`
`When you  arrive at  the Ship,  you will  see that  it covers two
`screens.   If you  are not  there already,  go to the screen from
`which you  can see  the right-hand  side of the ship at the left-
`hand edge  of your  view.   Once there, click the 'use' cursor on
`the Airbag  on top  of the  ship to  collect this,  then  on  the
`Functional  Diagnostics  Display  on  the  ship's  control  panel
`beneath where you took the Airbag from.
`
`Now make your way around the ship and left, into the screen where
`you can see the left-hand side of the ship at the right-hand edge
`of your  view.   From  there,  click  the  'use'  cursor  on  the
`Navigation Gyro   (appearing  as a  brown object  near the top of
`your view poking out from the ship's left-hand side).
`
`When you  have these  three  items  you  have  finished  at  this
`location.  Take another scan and locate the dull green dot at the
`left-hand side  of the scan just below the wall which sticks into
`the scan near its top.  Move to this location.  Upon arrival  you
`should find  a Partially  Depleted Fuel  Cell.   Collect this  by
`clicking on it with the 'use' cursor.
`
`Now it is time to change the character which you are currently in
`control of  for the  first time.  To do this, bring up the right-
`hand-mouse-button-menu and  click on the icon with the outline of
`a single  head on  it.  This, in turn, will bring up another menu
`with Quinn, Seeker and Miranda listed on it.  Select Seeker.
`
`You will  find that  you are  now controlling Seeker.  Obviously,
`you will be at a different location than you were at a moment ago
`because you  have now  moved to  the screen where Seeker has been
`standing for the past few minutes.  You will see that Seeker also
`has a  Com-Scanner which  can be  used in exactly the same way as
`Quinn's, together with an identical Sonic Stunner too.
`
`Take another  scan in  the same  way as you did with Quinn to see
`where you  are located  on the  Ledge now.  Remember that you are
`now represented  by an  ORANGE dot  because you  have changed  to
`Seeker.   Now move to the dull green dot in the middle at the top
`of the scan.  Getting to this will involve going in a general WNW
`direction.   When you  arrive at  the right spot you  will find a
`Radar Mechanism  which should be collected by clicking on it with
`the 'use' cursor as usual.
`
`Now head  back in  the direction you came, towards the dull green
`dot the  other side  of the wall to where you are, close to where
`both characters started  (this is SE from your present location).
`You will  obviously have  to make your way around the wall to get
`to this  location.   When you  arrive you  will see a bulky crate
`with a  Directional Actuator  jammed underneath  it.   Click  the
`'use'  cursor   on  the   Directional  Aculator   and  you   will
`automatically radio Quinn and ask him to help you get it out.
`
`Once you  have the Directional Aculator you should have collected
`all the items you need to have in your possession before going to
`the Ledgehopper,  so it  is time to take first Seeker, then Quinn
`there now.   It  is represented  on the  scan by the biggest blip
`(also the  only which shows as both shades of green).  It is west
`and a  little south  from where you are standing when you collect
`the Directional  Aculator.  First move Seeker there, then when he
`is standing  safely by  its side,  switch to the control of Quinn
`once again and do the same with him.

`When both  Quinn and  Seeker are  standing  by  the  Ledgehopper,
`switch to  controlling Quinn if you are not doing so already, and
`click the  'use' cursor  on the  cockpit's hatch.   When the view
`changes to  an internal  shot from  inside the Ledgehopper, click
`the 'use'  cursor first  on the  Door of  the Storage Compartment
`near the  right-hand edge of your view, then on the Spare Ignitor
`and the Thruster Control Valve within.

`You have  now collected  all  ten  items  you  need  to  get  the
`Ledgehopper working  -  now it is just a matter of inserting them
`in their  proper places  and then  you'll be  able to escape this
`location at  last.   First you are going to insert the Functional
`Diagnostics Display.  To do this, first click the 'use' cursor on
`the cracked,  Non-Functional Diagnostics  Display to remove this,
`then  select   the  Functional   Diagnostics  Display  from  your
`inventory and  click this  in place of the cracked one to replace
`it.
`
`Now select the Directional Aculator from your inventory and click
`this in  the small  black 'socket'  in the middle of your view at
`the bottom.   (Where  you would normally expect an aeroplane Joy-
`Stick to  fit.)   You will put this into place ready for use when
`you get the vehicle flying.
`
`Now exit  the Ledgehopper  again by  clicking the 'use' cursor on
`the green  Button towards  the  right  of  the  ship's  interior.
`When the  view reverts  to exterior  again, take  a look  at  the
`Ledgehopper.   You will see a series of 'gaps' on its side, which
`are, in  fact, bays  into which you have to fit the various items
`you have been collecting on your travels around the Ledge.
`
`Insert the  items into  the Ledgehopper as follows, starting with
`the 'bay'  at the far left-hand end of the ship and ending on the
`'bay' in  the nose  of the ship at its far right-hand end  (NOTE:
`You must  change to  Seeker  when  you  come  to  fit  the  Radar
`Mechanism as  he was  the one  who collected  this item.   Simply
`change to him when you come to this, number 6, then back to Quinn
`to fit number 7)  :-
`
`
~`1) Battery   2) Partially Depleted Fuel Cell   3) Spare Ignitor
~`4) Thruster Control Valve   5) Navigation Gyro
~`6) Radar Mechanism   7) Guidance Control Module
`
`
`You should be controlling Quinn at this point, though it does not
`matter which  character you  are controlling.   Simply  click the
`'use' cursor  on the  Cockpit Hatch and that character will enter
`the ship, then change to the other character and do the same with
`them.
`
`When both  characters are  sitting inside the Ledgehopper you are
`finally ready  to take  off and  escape!  To do this simply click
`the 'use'  icon on  the Button  on the  top  of  the  Directional
`Aculator   (Joy-Stick).   Fortunately, there  is just enough fuel
`for you to reach the Rim Wall.
`
`
~`                             !SAVE!
`
`
`When you  regain control  of the  action again,  you next need to
`find some  way of  transporting yourself the long distance to the
`nearest Elevator.   Fortunately,  this is  pretty easy  because a
`Mag-Lev Transport Car has been provided for you.  To get to this,
`move the cursor to the bottom of your view and find a point where
`it changes  from it's  current 'picture'   (hand, crosshair etc.)
`to an  arrow pointing downwards.  When it does this it means this
`is a  spot where  you can  exit into  the screen  south  of  your
`current location,  so simply  click and  the characters will make
`their way down a screen.
`
`In the next screen go south again in the same way, and then again
`in the  screen after  that.  You should now arrive at the Mag-Lev
`Transport Car's parking spot.  Click the 'use' cursor on the side
`of this vehicle and you will both climb aboard.
`
`When you  view reverts  to a  POV  internal  shot  of  the  Car's
`controls, stop a moment and let me explain the controls :-
`
`At the  bottom left-hand  corner of  the view  is the Radar.  The
`white dot  in the  middle of  this is  your car, and the vertical
`lines represent  the road it can be moved along.  To the right of
`this are  a set  of six  green lights which graphically represent
`the movement of the car.  Pay no attention to these!
`
`Next, further  right still,  comes two  columns  of  several  red
`lights each.   A  short time  after you  start moving, the bottom
`light of  the left-hand  column will  light.   This means you are
`approaching the first landmark on the road:  an Elevator.  As you
`get closer  to this Elevator, this light will move up the column,
`until the  top light is lit.  At this point you are very near the
`Elevator.   Because this Elevator is jammed we are going to drive
`straight past  this one  and go  onto the  next one.  As you will
`see, when  we go past this first elevator, the light will go out,
`and instead  the top one on the right-hand column will light.  As
`we go further and further away from the Elevator again, the light
`will move down the column until the very bottom light has lit and
`gone out  again.   Still further  down the  road, you  will start
`approaching a  second Elevator, so the light at the bottom of the
`left-hand column  will light  again and  the whole  process  will
`start over.   This  time, however, you will need to stop when the
`light reaches  the top  of the column as, at this point, you will
`be outside the second elevator.
`
`Look further  along to  the right  of the  Car's controls.    The
`white/grey Button  is your  forward/reverse toggle.   The section
`which it  white   (lit up)   represents  the  direction  you  are
`currently   going    in    -    top    section=forward,    bottom
`section=backward.   Note that  if you  are going at full speed it
`will take some time for the ship to slow before it can change the
`direction it is moving in.
`
`Next to  the forward/reverse  toggle is,  as you can see, a large
`red Button.   Use  this to  stop,  or,  if  the  Car  is  already
`stationary, to  exit the  interior view  back outside.   Next  to
`this, at  the far  bottom right-hand  corner of  your view is the
`acceleration slider.  When the notch is at the top you are either
`stopped or  slowing, drag  it down  to the  bottom and  you  will
`increase to full speed.
`
`Now I have explained the controls you are ready to go :-
`
`First of  all, drag  the notch  on the Acceleration Slider to the
`bottom   and watch as you slowly increase to full speed.  After a
`while, one of the red lights will light up as I have explained as
`above.   Watch each  light go on then off in turn as I described.
`When all the lights are unlit again, it means you are directly in
`between the  two Elevators.   Now  get  ready  as  you  begin  to
`approach the Elevator you need to stop at.
`
`When the  lights start  moving up the left-hand column again, pay
`attention.   Use the  acceleration slider  to slow down a little,
`then when  the second to top light is lit, slow right down so you
`are just  trundling along and have greater control over your Car.
`Watch the  Radar carefully.   When  you see  a  circular  outline
`beside the road on it, allow your ship to approach this, then use
`the red  button just  before you get to it to slow, and hopefully
`stop right  outside it.   If  you go  past the outline, switch to
`reverse and  approach it  from the  other side.  Do not exit your
`Car until  it is  stopped directly outside the Elevator which you
`will be  able to judge by checking with the Radar.  Now click the
`red Button from a stationary position and you will exit the Car.
`
`When you get outside, take a look at the pathway on which you are
`standing.   If it  looks the  same as it did when you entered the
`Car   (ie, you can not leave the screen to the left because there
`is a  seemingly bottom-less  gap there),  re-enter the Car and be
`more accurate  in your  positioning outside  the Elevator.    If,
`however, you  can now  walk left now do so by clicking the cursor
`at the  far left-hand  edge of  the screen  and you should arrive
`outside an Elevator.
`
`When you  arrive outside the Elevator, first change the character
`you are  controlling to  Seeker if  you are not doing so already,
`then click  the 'use'  cursor on the double-doors at ground level
`at the  front of  the Elevator.   When Seeker is standing holding
`the doors  open, quickly  change back  to controlling  Quinn, and
`this time  click the  'use' icon just below Seeker's right armpit
`where there  is a lever inside the Elevator.  This will result in
`the Steps  leading up  the the  two upper doors extending so they
`can be  climbed.  Now click the 'use' cursor on either of the two
`upper doors and you will enter the Elevator.
`
`Change back to Seeker again when you get inside the Elevator, and
`click the  'use' cursor  on the  Robot.  After struggling to hold
`the Robot,  Seeker will  drop it,  but if  you click on it again,
`this time  he will  manage to keep it up.  Quickly change back to
`controlling Quinn,  then select the Airbag from his inventory and
`click  it   underneath  the  robot  to  wedge  it.    After  some
`conversation, you will automatically pressurise the Elevator with
`Seeker's air.   When this has happened, select the Rebreater Tank
`from your inventory and click this on the Airbag to inflate it.
`
`When the  Airbag has  been inflated  and all but pushed the Robot
`off the  Elevator control's, click the 'use' cursor on the Button
`on the far wall next to the left-most Door, and the controls will
`come up,  pushing the  robot over  as they  do so.  Now click the
`'use' cursor  again, this  time on the internal Elevator's Doors,
`and a close-up of the controls will be shown.  On this, click the
`'use' cursor  first on  the second  Button from the left, then on
`the central  Button.  The Elevator will finally start moving, and
`a moment later the scene will cut to Miranda's misfortunes with a
`dictator called Teal.
`
`When Teal  offers you the drink, choose any of the responses from
`the menu  as each  will eventually  result in  the same  outcome.
`Keep choosing  responses from  the  menus  until  he  momentarily
`leaves the  room.   Quickly click  the 'use' cursor on the frayed
`wires just  underneath Miranda's left arm and she will tug one of
`them out.   As  soon as  she's done this, Teal will return, and a
`few moments later you will jump back to the action with Quinn and
`Seeker again.
`
`You and  Seeker will  automatically climb out of the Elevator and
`almost immediately  collapse through  lack of  oxygen!   When the
`scene cuts  to the  recovery room,  click the  use  icon  on  the
`'dressing gown'  hanging on  the pole  at the  base of  your bed,
`then select  the 'speech'  cursor and click this on the caretaker
`(man standing  nearest the chamber's Door).  When he has finished
`talking, click  the same  cursor  on  him  again  to  ask  him  a
`different  question,   and  then  a  third  time  to  thank  him.
`Eventually  you   will  automatically  go  and  talk  with  Astor
`Pharisha, reciter of the Spill Mountain Folk.
`
`Click the  'speech' cursor  on her  and you will embark on a huge
`conversation.   Listen/read this  if you  want to get involved in
`the story's plot, otherwise skip it as it is particularly boring!
`When it  comes to  an end,  move the cursor to the bottom of your
`view where you entered this room and click to leave the cavern.
`
`You are  now on  a Spill  Mountainside.   There are many Bridges,
`pathways and  Steps in  this area so you can get around the Spill
`Mountain Folk's  Village.   You will  see many men walking around
`just as  you are  doing.   Ignore these  as they  won't  talk  or
`interact with you in any way.
`
`First of  all you  need to reclaim your Oxygen tank.  To do this,
`walk left four screens, then go up the Bridge.  At the top of the
`Bridge, walk back to the right two screens, then click the cursor
`through the Door  (the cursor will change from a cross-hair to an
`arrow when  you can  click to  enter).   When you  get inside the
`Storage Room  above the  Tanning Room,  click the 'use' cursor on
`the winch  handle by the hole in the floor to wind the rock down.
`When this is done, click back out of the room the way you came.
`
`Once back  outside you  need to make your way to the Tanning Room
`itself.   To get  to this  room, go  back the  two screens to the
`left, make  your way  back down  the Bridge,  then go  right  two
`screens and enter the Door there.  Inside, click the 'use' cursor
`on the  Oxygen Tank  and you will automatically throw it into the
`pit in the middle of the room.  After a moment it should float to
`the surface  so you  can just see it in the hole.  If this is the
`case, click  the 'use' cursor on it to recover it.  If not, leave
`then re-enter the room and this time it should be available to be
`taken.
`
`Now you  need to  fill the tank with helium.  This is done in the
`Helium room!   You  can get  there by  first exiting  the Tanning
`Room, then  by going  right one screen, down the Stairs, left two
`screens, down  the Bridge, right a further two screens, down more
`Stairs, and  then right  two more screens.  Now click through the
`Door at  that  location  to  enter  the  room  with  the  Helium-
`Generating Machine housed within it.
`
`Select your  Rebreater Tank from your inventory and click this on
`the small  tap set  in the  side of  one of  the chambers  of the
`Helium Machine.   When  the tank is filled, exit back outside and
`go right  one more  screen to  the Balloon Launch Platform.  Walk
`right to  the edge  of the  platform, then  select the Rebreather
`Tank from  your inventory  and click  it on  the Balloon.   Astor
`Pharisha will walk in and talk to you for a moment, then you will
`take to flight on the Balloon.
`
`When the  arial shot  of you  on you  Balloon appears,  turn your
`attention to  the dial at the bottom of your view.  The Button to
`the left  of that  increases your  altitude, the one to the right
`decreases it.   As  soon as you begin to fly, click the left-hand
`arrow.   If it is reported to you that you are already at maximum
`altitude, that's  okay, otherwise  keep clicking  on  this  arrow
`until it does so.
`
`Now you  must wait  as your  Balloon floats on the Spill Mountain
`currents.   As you will see in time, the Balloon will not stay in
`the same  position on  the screen,  but move  around.    When  it
`reaches the  far top-left hand corner of your view, quickly click
`the right-hand  arrow as  many times as you can until the balloon
`is at  minimum altitude.   Now wait as you float slowly down, and
`around, and  around, and around, and eventually out of the screen
`completely.   This will  take a  long time, so why not go off and
`make a cup of tea?!
`
`When you  do eventually  set down  in the Desert, select the Com-
`Scanner from  your inventory, and as you did so many times on the
`Space Ledge,  take a  scan.   On the  display you will find there
`will appear an arrow.  Exit the location you are currently in, in
`the direction  this arrow  points.   In  the  next  screen,  take
`another scan  and leave, again in the direction the arrow points.
`Go through  the same  procedure in  a further  three locations (5
`times in  all), and  you should  eventually find yourself outside
`the forest.
`
`Click the  cursor at  the right-hand  edge of the screen to enter
`the forest,  then select  Erjenta's Flute  from you inventory and
`click this  on yourself  to attract Nej G'Lor.  Watch as he tries
`to attack  you, as you brush him off easily, and eventually as he
`leaves the  screen to  supposedly go and light a fire.  Now click
`the cursor about half way up at the right-hand edge of the screen
`(just where he exited a moment ago)  and you follow him.
`
`After a  fireside conversation  with Nej  G'lor, the  scene  will
`automatically cut to outside the forest by the ARM Outpost.  Wait
`until you  regain control of the proceedings, then quickly select
`the Sonic  Stunner from  you inventory  and click this on the ARM
`Trooper to  zap him dead!  You will now automatically change into
`his uniform,  then Nej  G'Lor will drag his body away never to be
`seen again.   Now  click the  'use' cursor on the ARM Outpost and
`you will take over the roll of the dead Trooper.
`
`Wait on  top of  the Outpost for the ARM Ship to land, then Quinn
`will automatically  descend and  enter it,  leaving the other ARM
`Trooper for  the night  watch.  The ship will take you to the ARM
`Base where  you will  automatically take  on the zapped Trooper's
`roll of  guard duty.  You can do no more here for now, as in this
`uniform  you   are  under  strict  control  of  Teal,  so  change
`characters back to Seeker.
`
`
~`                             !SAVE!
`
`
`Select the  'speech' cursor  again and  click this on Astor.  She
`will tell  you a  long story  about some lusty Vampires living in
`caverns in  the heart  of  the  Spill  Mountains,  and  you  will
`automatically take  on the  challenge  of  banishing  these  evil
`characters.   When you  have concluded  your  long  conversation,
`leave the  room in  the same  manner as  you did  when  you  were
`controlling Quinn.
`
`When you  get outside,  go left four screens then take the Bridge
`to the  next level  up.   Go back  to the right two screens, then
`enter the  room above  the Tanning  Room which  you were  in with
`Quinn earlier.   Once  inside, click the 'use' cursor on the blue
`Alcohol Flask on the shelf in the corner, then leave again.
`
`Retrace your  steps back,  two screens  to the left and back down
`the Bridge.  Now go right two screens and enter the Tanning Room.
`In there,  click the 'use' cursor on the Tanner's Face Mask which
`is hanging on the far wall, then exit this room also.
`
`Continue right into the next screen and take the Steps downwards.
`
`When you  get to the bottom of the stairway, head left one screen
`and go through the Door you find there.  You should find yourself
`in some  sort of  bedroom!   Click the  'use' cursor first on the
`pouch hanging  on the  pole just  to  your  right,  then  on  the
`Sherbergoat Oil  Lamb on  the cabinet below the window on the far
`wall.   Now exit  this room  again, and  go left  one more screen
`before heading down the Bridge.
`
`Once at  the bottom  of the  Bridge, head  right one screen, then
`enter through  the Door  you find  there.   As before,  click the
`'use' cursor on the Sherbergoat Oil Lamp on the cabinet below the
`window on the far wall to collect it, then exit.
`
`Go right another screen when you have finished in that room, then
`head down the stairway.  Go right when you reach the bottom, then
`right again, where you should then enter the room with the Helium
`Machine in.   Click the 'use' cursor on the Glass Dome to collect
`that, then  leave the  room and  go one  more screen to the right
`where you  should arrive at the Balloon Launch Platform  (if not,
`go right another screen, and then you definitely will!)
`
`Take the  stairs up  at this  point, and  at the top go right and
`then up  the Bridge.   Once  at the top again, go right on screen
`and enter the room there with the huge crack in the floor.  Click
`the use  icon on  the rope  hanging on  the right-hand wall, then
`click somewhere  down the  crack and  you  will  climb  down  the
`fissure.
`
`When you  get to  the bottom  you will find a puddle of corrosive
`fluid which  will need  dealing with  before you  can get the key
`which floats in it.  To deal with it, first select one of the Oil
`Lamps from  your inventory  and click  this on  the puddle.   Now
`select the  Glass Dome  and click  this on the Lamp you have just
`put in the puddle, and the vacuum which this creates will suck up
`the corrosive  fluid.   Now click  the 'use'  cursor first on the
`Scrith Key to collect it, then at the far top-left-hand corner of
`the screen to climb back to the room above.
`
`Upon arrival  back at  the top of the fissure, leave the room the
`way you  entered it,  then go  left one  screen, down the Bridge,
`left one  screen, down  the Steps,  left three  screens,  up  the
`Steps, left two screens, up the Bridge, right two screens, up the
`Stairway, left  three screens,  up the  Bridge, and finally right
`four screens.
`
`You should  now find  yourself outside  the Elevator.    If  not,
`either I've  made a mistake or you did, in which case you'll have
`to find your way there yourself. (It is on the highest accessible
`level of  the village, so just keep going up where possible, then
`take a look around.)
`
`When you  do locate  the Elevator,  click the 'use' cursor on its
`left-hand Door  and you  will enter  the shaft.  Now click at the
`bottom of  the ladder and you will descend into the screen below.
`Go down  through a  further three screens to the point where your
`passage downwards  is blocked  by think ice.  Now select the Gun-
`Powder Pouch  from your inventory and click this on the ice, then
`do the  same with  the remaining  Oil Lamp in your inventory, and
`after retiring  to a  safe distance,  you will  smash this on the
`ice, igniting the Gun Powder as you do so.
`
`The resulting  blast will  melt away  a section of the ice giving
`you passage  through a  door into  the Vampire's lair.  Click the
`cursor through this door to enter.
`
`Upon arrival  in the  first room, select the Scrith Key from your
`inventory and  click this  on the  closed Door to the right. When
`that is  unlocked, select  the Alcohol  Flask from your inventory
`and click  this on the Tanner's Face Mask also in your inventory.
`Now select  the newely-flavoured  Face Mask,  click  it  on  your
`character, and  you will  put it  on, masking  the odour  of  the
`Vampires.   You are  now ready  to continue  into the caverns, so
`click the  cursor through  the Door  to the  right and  you  will
`advance...
`
`The following  section of  the game  is a  large  maze  of  pipe-
`encrusted rooms  in which  a total of 18 Vampires roam.  You must
`shoot all  of these  Vampires with  your Sonic Stunner before you
`will be  allowed to  continue to  the next part of the game. Some
`Vampires will die after one hit from the Stunner, but with others
`you will have to hit them three times before they die.
`
`Follow my  directions as outlined below and you will successfully
`complete this  maze.   R means Right, L, left, U, up a ladder, D,
`down a  ladder, F, through a Doorway in the far wall  (thus, away
`from you),  B, through  a Doorway in the near wall  (thus towards
`you).   Those places  in the  directions where  I write 'Vampire'
`indicate that  there will  be a  Vampire in  the _next_ room.  By
`telling you  this before  you enter  the room,  it means  you can
`ready yourself for the battle which will occur in a moment.
`
`In case  you don't  realise, to  shoot, select  the Sonic Stunner
`from  your inventory, then click this on the Vampire in question.
`My directions  will be  in two  sections  because  some  distance
`through the  maze you  will come  upon a  room where some special
`instructions  are  needed.    I  make  no  guarantees  about  the
`effectiveness of  these directions,  by the  way.   Although I am
`almost certain  that they  will take  you successfully  along one
`possible route  through the  maze, I  am also almost certain that
`there are  quicker routes  and possibly even safer routes through
`the maze which you may wish to investigate yourself.

`
`
`This final  left move  should take  you into  a room with a large
`number of  scrolls lying  on shelves  on the  back wall, together
`with a  Containment Field  protecting a  cubic  Gem  from  prying
`fingers in the middle of the floor!  First click the 'use' cursor
`on the  scrolls and  you will  take a couple of them, then on the
`keypad beneath  the Containment  Field in the foreground.  On the
`close-up of  the Keypad you will see 16 Buttons.  Starting on the
`top row,  click each  Button once, and only once, going from left
`to right,  top to  bottom.  When you have made the 16 clicks, all
`the buttons should be red and the Containment Field will disperse
`leaving you free to then click the 'use' cursor on the cubic Gem.
`When you  have both  the Scrolls  and the Gem, continue following
`the directions as listed below :-
`
`
~`R, D, D, R, U, B, B, L, U, L, L, L, F, L, D, B, D, R, R, R, U, L,
~`F, U, F, L, D, D, R, R, U, B, U, R, R, R, D, F, D, B, L, B, R, U,
~`B, L,  U, L,  D, L,  L, L, B, R, D, R, F, R, Vampire, R, B, L, U,
~`Vampire, L, R, D, R, F, L, L, L, Vampire, L, R, B, L, L, L.
`
`
`You should  now find  yourself back  in the room where you had to
`unlock the  door with  the Scrith  Key earlier.   If you have not
`been allowed  into this  room it means you have missed a Vampire,
`so you  will have  to go  all the  way back  and kill  it!    If,
`however, you are allowed in, it means you have completed the maze
`successfully and  can now  head back to Astor Parisha to give her
`the good  news.   (If you  are not in the room I mention, go left
`once more and then you should be.)
`
`When you  have completed the maze, click back through the door to
`enter the  Elevator shaft,  then climb  back  up  the  ladder  by
`clicking at  the top  of the screen.  Go up a further two screens
`until you  reach the  level with the door.  When you reach there,
`click the  'use' cursor  on the  small red Button by the Door and
`you will climb back onto the Spill Mountainside.
`
`Now it  is time to find Astor Parisha again.  To do this, go left
`through four  screen and  descend down  the Bridge.  Now go right
`four times  and enter  the room  there.  Once inside, select `the
`scrolls `from  your inventory,  and click  these on  Astor.   Now
`select the  Sapphire-Blue Gem  Cube and  click this  on Astor  as
`well.  She will not take this objects; just tell you about it.
`
`You have  now completed  all the  tasks Seeker can do, and now he
`will have to wait to be picked up later.  In order that he can be
`picked up he will need to wait at the Balloon Launching Pad where
`Quinn took off from earlier.  To get to there, leave the room the
`way you went entered it, go left one screen, down the Steps, left
`two screens,  down the Bridge, right two screens, down the Steps,
`and right  three further  screens.  Now walk right, as far as you
`can, so you are standing right on the edge of the platform.  This
`is vital for the continuation of Miranda's story.
`
`Now switch to Miranda.
`
`

`
`
`Once you  have eaten the food and stood back up from the bed, you
`will recover  control of  the proceedings.   You  must now escape
`from this  cell, and the way to do this is to kill the guard when
`he enters  to reclaim  your tray.   Unfortunately you do not have
`any weapons,  so this  isn't as  easy as  it sounds.  Instead you
`must be a little more ingenious!
`
`First of  all, click  the 'use'  cursor on the empty Tray and the
`Pillow to  collect them,  then on  the light  above the Toilet to
`take out  the bulb.   Now select the Pillow and click this on the
`toilet to block it, then select the length of Superconductor Wire
`from your inventory and click this into the now-empty light shade
`to divert  the electricity  from this.   Finally, select the tray
`from your  inventory and click this on the pillow, then click the
`'use' cursor on the Toilet Flusher and the trap will be set!
`
`The guard  should now  return to collect the tray.  As he goes to
`pick it  up he  will make  contact with  the water  and  will  be
`electrocuted!  Now to make a getaway through the gate he has left
`open.   Quickly click  the cursor  beyond the  Gate to  enter the
`corridor.
`
`Now click  the 'walk'  icon at the left-hand end of your view and
`as you  walk along you will see that the view scrolls to reveal a
`'normal' Door just right of some Security Beams.  Click the 'use'
`cursor on this Door and you will enter the Guard's Station.  Take
`a look  on the  floor near  the top  of your  view, just  left of
`centre.   There you  will see a Guard's Toolbox.  Click the 'use'
`cursor on  this and you will automatically approach it and take a
`Laser Hacksaw  from inside.   This  is no  longer a safe place to
`stay,   so go  back out of the Office the way to came, go back to
`the right, and re-enter your cell.
`
`Once back  in the  relative safety of your cell, select the Laser
`Hacksaw from your inventory and click this on Air Vent Grate just
`to the  right of  your bed.  You will automatically climb up into
`the Vent Shaft.
`
`The next  section of  the game  is also  a maze of sorts, but one
`where the  emphasis is  on  puzzles  rather  that  complex  path-
`finding.   The puzzles involve the disabling of Anti-Pest Lasers,
`one of  which is  situated directly  to your  right, set  in  the
`right-hand wall.   Click  the 'use' cursor on this you will see a
`close-up of  a bare  panel with  three red  Jumpers on  it.

`By clicking on the Jumpers with the 'use' icon, you can move them
`around into  different patterns.   You have to set the Jumpers to
`the correct  pattern   (combination)    (there  are  12  possible
`combinations in  all),  and  then  the  Laser  will  be  disabled
`allowing you  to pass  past it.   Some  of the Lasers in the Vent
`System have no combination and are put there simply to block your
`passage in that direction.

`Compare the  pattern of  this first  Laser to the one drawn below
`and make  changes where necessary to make it match.  It will then
`be disabled :-
`
`
~`      o─────o─────o
~`
~`
~`      o─────o     o
`
`
`When you have set the Laser to this combination you will be ready
`continue.   Now select  the 'walk'  icon and  click this  at  the
`right-hand end of the tunnel, past the Laser.  Miranda will crawl
`along.   Keep clicking to the right of Miranda, and she kill keep
`crawling forwards.   Stop  when you come across a junction to the
`left.  Go left here and continue north.  When you get to the next
`junction, go right and continue forward again until you reach the
`next Anti-Pest  Laser.   Now click  the 'use'  cursor on  this to
`bring up  the close-up, and set the Jumpers as follows to disable
`it :-
`
`
~`      o─────o─────o
~`            │
~`            │
~`      o     o     o
`
`
`Continue past  the Laser,  then go  left round  the corner.    Go
`forward a  few more  steps, then take the passage to the right at
`the next  junction.    Now continue going forward again until you
`get blocked  by another Laser.   Click the 'use' icon on this and
`set the pattern as below :-
`
`
~`      o     o─────o
~`      │     │
~`      │     │
~`      o     o     o
`
`
`Almost directly  past the  Laser is another Air Vent Grate set in
`the right-hand wall of the tunnel.  Move so you are lying next to
`this Grill,  then click  the 'eye'  cursor on  it.  The view will
`change to  a POV through the bars, and you will see a short scene
`with Dr.  Tomko talking  to a  Lab  Assistant.    When  this  has
`finished and  you return  to the  tunnel view,  click  the  'eye'
`cursor on  the Vent  in exactly  the same way again, and you will
`get another  scene.   Do it a third time and on this occasion you
`will see  the two characters leaving.  A fourth time will confirm
`that the  coast is  clear.   This is your chance.  Quickly select
`the 'use' cursor and click this on the grill.
`
`Once inside  the Lab,  click the  'use' cursor on the Door to the
`right and you will enter the Anatomy Laboratory.  Click the 'use'
`cursor on  any of  the covered bodies, and you will automatically
`walk over  to investigate one of them.  Now click the same cursor
`on the  computer against  the back wall, and some the Ghouls will
`come alive  and begin  to chase  you.   At this  point  you  lose
`control of  the  game  as  a  long  automatic  scene  rolls  into
`action...
`
`Read through  the conversation which takes place on the Ice Shelf
`back at  the Spill  Mountains between  Seeker, Miranda, Quinn and
`the Puppet.   When  it is complete you will automatically fly the
`ARM's ship  into the  Flup Tube  system.  This is another maze in
`which you can see where you're going by watching the big overhead
`display at  the bottom-right  hand corner of your view.  The grey
`bar is  an Acceleration Slider and obviously the four red Buttons
`are directional controls.
`
`Slide the  Acceleration Slider from the top speed which it begins
`at, to  minimum speed  (the next step up from stopped).  Now make
`your way  through the  tunnels at  this leisurely speed using the
`following directions,  and you will eventually reach another exit
`from the Tubes :-
`
`
~`Past Three Lefts, L, Past One Left, R, L, L, Past One R, R, L, L,
~`R, Past Three Rights, L, L, R, R, L, Past One Right and One Left,
~`R, L, L Past One Right, R, R.
`
`
`When you  reach the  exit, your ship will emerge from the sea bed
`and automatically  enter Teal's lair  -  a futuristic water city.
`When you  regain control of the action, click the 'use' cursor on
`the Door at the far end of the corridor and you will walk through
`to the  next room.   Now  do the  same there  and you  will  walk
`through to  the Circular  Outer Hallway.   Once  there, click the
`cursor to  our character's  lefts so  they walk  left, around the
`perimeter of  the Hallway  and into  the next  screen, where  you
`should do  the same again so you enter the screen with the double
`doors leading into the Circular inner Hallway.
`
`Click the  'use' cursor  on the  double doors,  and sit  back and
`watch the  plot take  its final  few twists.   You  have only one
`remaining action  to do:   when  the ghoul  has killed  Teal  and
`approaches you,  click the  walk icon  into the  white beam which
`appears and you will be transported away to...?
