¢SYNTRON 2¢Escape From Syntron¢¢¢ The first thing you'll probably notice upon starting this game is the slow-ness of our hero. This was done PURPOSELY, because you will need to be able to control him in a pinch. The hero can be hard to control at first, but you'll get used to him.¢¢ The object of this game is not to score points, but to make your way down to your spaceship. There are 3 keys (they are admittedly strange looking keys, kind of ball-shaped) for each level, and they'll be in the same place every time, so mapping the cave would be a good idea.¢¢ A funny looking M appears throughout the cave from time to time; this is called a Mysterian. Most of the time when you touch it, you will be given a blue shield which in effect gives you an extra life (you can only wear one shield at a time, by the way). Every once in a while, however, you will die if you touch the Mysterian. The odds are on your side, but there is a risk involved.¢¢ As for the keys, understand that the doors to the next level down will be blocked until you find all three keys on that particular level. If I can give you one helpful hint, it is that, again, you don't have to shoot at every monster you see. Get in, get what you need, and get out is, I think, a good philosophy.¢¢ Finally, a word about the monsters. The block-shaped ones are the most dangerous, because they are 'breeders.' They spawn the smaller, oval beings. As you work your way down to the higher (or lower?) levels, you will notice their breeding activity increasing.¢¢Good luck!¢¢¢ SYNTRON 2, as well as all my other games, including THE MANSION OF IZOR and AROP, is free. If, however, you are dying to send me money, I won't turn it down.
