I'm stuck at the machines room in the cave in Demon's World. What should I do
with the control panel with sliders. Does the abstract "art" thing above it
help us in selecting the values on the sliders?


BTW, despite all the earlier postings that the initial simulation can't be won,
IT IS POSSIBLE to win the fight. The trick is to maintain warp 8 throughout the
battle, whether you get hit or not. Keep your eyes on the enemy ship on the
radar and then only focus on the main viewer when the two dots are about to
merge. There is no need to switch to big screen view 'cos at warp 8 your ship
will travel too fast pass the enemy after hitting it the first few times; you
need the radar to tell you where to travel.

Hit the enemy with all you've got simultaneously when it has slowed down after
being hit initially. Only then do you slow down to about warp 2. If the
Republic (enemy ship) still doesn't buckle, go back to warp 8 and continue --
it should --- soon. No need to run off if you have been hit, maintain pursuit.
Your doggedness will pay off. Repairs are faster than you think.
