Admittedly, playing OOTW takes some getting used to, but after you've
figured out what kinds of things you need to do to clear a level, it gets
less frustrating. So, if you want to clear the first level...

When the game starts, swim up in the tank. Start running towards the right.
You'll soon see some crawling leeches. When you see them, crouch down, and
kick all of them. I think there are 5. Then, hang out for a second or three,
and a giant beast should appear; looks kinda like a lion. When you see him,
run all the way to the left, as fast as you can. When you see the swinging
vine, jump on it. When it breaks, it'll deposit you behind the best. Then,
run all the way to the right.

At that point, some friendly alien will escort you to level 2. All I'll say
about level 2 is that when the cage breaks, look down.

Of course you'll die a zillion times. Whenever you do, write down the code.
Then, you can re-start the game at that level.

When I first started playing, Burger Bill told me to keep rememberiong that
it's a port from a Nintendo game. Keep that in mind. It means, there's not
really any randomness to it.

BTW, on the GO GAMERS forum on CompuServe, there's a complete walk through.
It's nearly 20 pages when printed out. I personally feel it's way to soon to
start spreading that around, but, maybe in a couple of months...
