MR. HELI
Cracked by Ian H. (Was it meant to be
difficult, Dreamweavers?), packed and
trained by The Alien. Thanks anyway
for the original, Dreamweavers!
Usual controls, F1 to pause the game.
While paused, F1 continues, F2 aborts
and F3 toggles music.
The MUDDY and BLACK helicopters have
attacked a star and it's people. Your
job is to wipe out the enemies and
save the star!
How to play? Shoot everything, collect
the crystals (money), buy the extra
weapons (fly over them) and shoot
everything again. On level 2 of each
stage you'll need to shoot the entrance
before the lights come on... Your
bombs and bullets will light the way
so you can actually find the entrance!
Extra powers:
Energy topup
Double fire
Missiles (up to 3)
Bombs (up to 2)
Don't use the infinite energy mode
unless you're REALLY frustrated-
you'll complete the game!
(Packed from over 500K, two disks to
less than 240K!)
5TH GEAR
Packed and put into files by The Alien.
Thanks to A.L.F. for the original copy!
Unfortunately no instructions came with
the copy we received, so all I can tell
you is control is by joystick in normal
car fashion- reverse the car by pulling
back etc. Fire fires the machine gun
(use against other cars). ESC quits the
game, F1 pauses (Fire to continue) and
that's all the keys I could get a
response from!
It seems you have to get to the end of
the level as quickly as possible with-
out hitting anything (most things kill
you off- a few only damage you). You
can get extra fuel/weapons/upgrades at
the numerous garages- pull up alongside
and press fire. A menu will appear- use
the stick to select options, fire to
buy consumables (e.g. fuel) and left/
right to buy/sell anything reusable
(e.g. waterproof chassis).
Use jumps to get across stretches of
water- even with a waterproof chassis
you won't last long if you land in
the drink!
SLAYER
Packed, trained and put into files by
The Alien. Don't use the trainer until
you're really narked- it makes you
totally invincible.
Shoot everything!! Pick up weapon pods
for extra firepower, orbiting extras
and smart bombs. To kill the end of
level guardians, shoot all the bits
firing at you!
SPACE pauses (fire to continue),
control is by stick #1 as usual.
Oh yeah... on a one meg machine
everything's fine but on half meg the
game cannot be run using files- there
is an option to convert it to half
meg (which requires a blank disk).
Now why aren't all one meg only cracks
that friendly?
With the half meg version, scores are
saved to disk and you can use Fcopy
to copy the disk.
With the one meg version, scores are
saved to disk on track 0, sector 8.
Copying with Fcopy keeps the scores,
but if you just drag all the files to
another disk, the scores are wiped
and the game doesn't like it. So if
you just drag all the files, run
the program 'SCORES.PRG' in the
SLAYER folder. The scores will
be written back to your new copy.
Please note, though: DON'T use Acopy
to format the disk!
