Problem:
How do I keep the Arcada from blowing up?

Hint:
You  cannot prevent  the Arcada   from blowing  up. You  need to
figure out how to escape before she blows.


Problem:
There is an elevator that I can't seem to open!

Hint:
You  will need  a key  card  to  use the  shuttle bay  elevator.
There's one on a dead crew member by the name of Jerry. Go right
from the closet you came out of at the beginning of the game and
enter the next elevator you see.  When you exit the elevator, go
to the  right and enter the  next elevator. After you  exit that
elevator, go  to the left until  you find the body.  If you have
the icon  version, click the hand  icon on the body  to take the
keycard.  In the  text version,  type: "search  body", then type
"get keycard".


Problem:
I keep getting shot by Sariens. How can I avoid them?

Hint:
When  you see  a message  that says  "You hear  footsteps", duck
inside  the nearest  door or  hide around  a corner. The Sariens
will go  away when they don't  see anyone. If you  have the icon
version of the game and you are in the central control area, the
only way  to survive is to  hide behind the big  joystick or the
giant mouse.  If you remain completely  hidden the Sariens won't
see you.


Problem:
How do I open the bay doors?

Hint:
Once you have  the keycard and can use  the special elevator, go
to the lower level and walk  east into the central control area.
If you have  the icon version then hide  behind the big joystick
or the giant  mouse until the Sariens go away.  Go to the window
in the  upper part of the  next room to the  east. With the icon
version, click  the eye cursor on  the control panel to  see the
bay door button, click the hand  cursor on the panel to push the
open button. If  you have the text version,  type: "look panel".
Then type: "push open bay door button".


Problem:
How do I get the cartridge?

Hint:
The room west of the broom  closet where you started the game is
the data archive room. You will need to go into this room twice.
The second time  you enter a scientist will  stumble in and fall
down. If you  have the icon version of the  game, click the talk
cursor on  the man. If you  have the text version,  approach the
man  and type:  "Help man".  He will  give you  the name  of the
cartridge  you need.  Walk to  the cartridge  retrieval unit and
type:  "look screen"  or, if  you have  the icon  version of the
game, click the hand cursor on the console. In the icon version,
a keypad  will appear. Look  in your documentation  for the code
symbols. Click on  the correct symbols and enter  them. With the
text version  when you are  asked the name  of the cartridge  to
retrieve, type: "astral body", then type: "get cartridge".


Problem:
Where do I play the Astral Body cartridge?

Hint:
You won't be  able to play the cartridge aboard the Arcada. Take
it down to the planet Kerona. You will be able to play it in the
Keronian generator chamber.


Problem:
Can I do anything in the Star Generator room?

Hint:
Not unless  you have the  icon version of  the game. If  you do,
then  you may  take the  magnetic device  found on the left-hand
side of the  large broken object on the floor.  It will help you
later in the game.


Problem:
How do I open the two doors in the control room with the airlock?

Hint:
Stand between the  two doors and type: "push  left button" or in
the icon version use the hand  icon to click on the button. Open
the door  to the right by  either clicking on the  button in the
icon version or  in the text version type:  "push right button".
You will find your dialect translator and your space suit.


Problem:
I made it to the escape pod. How do I lift off?

Hint:
Stand next to the open pod door. In the text version, type: "get
in  pod" or,  if you  have the  icon version,  click on  the pod
doorway.  Then  click  on  the  right  hand  button and then the
throttle. With the text version  type: "look panel". Next, type:
"push  power button",  then  type:  "pull throttle",  then type:
"push autonav button". Autonav is  one word. If you haven't done
so already,  you will be prompted  to close the door  and buckle
your seat belt.


Problem:
What should I do at the crash site?

Hint:
You need to  get your survival kit. It's  located inside the pod
at the crash site. In the text version type: "get survival kit".
In the icon  version, exit the pod and click  the hand cursor on
the survival kit in the open doorway.


Problem:
How do I keep from dying of thirst?

Hint:
You need your survival kit. If you get very thirsty and have the

water". In  the icon version,  open the survival  kit, then take
the water canister from your inventory and click it on yourself.


Problem:

Problem:
How do I avoid the spider droid?

Hint:
You  need to  find a  trail that  will lead  to the  top of  the
cliffs or  with some versions,  the skeleton. Once  on the trail
you  are safe.  As you   approach the  cliffs or  skeleton after
leaving  your pod,  stay toward   the bottom  of the  screen and
continue walking to the right until you reach the trail.


Problem:
How do I get rid of the spider droid?

Hint:
You can  stand on the  natural bridge and  in the text  version,
push the rock on it. Type  "push rock". In the icon version, you
can drop a piece of vertebra on  it. It's best to wait until the
spider droid  is in the right  spot before you push  the rock or
drop the vertebra on him.


Problem:
What can I do with the plant?

Hint:
In the  icon version you  can use a  piece of it  to get past  a
monster later in the game. In  the text version, you can eat the
plant but that is all.


Problem:
How do I get underground?

Hint:
Walk across the  spine (or cliff) until you  come to two spikes.
Walk between the two spikes and  a section will give way and you
will fall into the underground cavern.


Problem:
How do I open the door once I get underground?

Hint:
You need to  put a rock in the geyser.  In the text version, the
rock is near the point where you exited the elevator. Type: "put
rock  in geyser"  or "put  rock in  steam". In  the icon version
there is a pointed rock near the elevator. Break  the top off of
it and use it.


Problem:
How do I get past the grate with the tentacles?

Hint:
In the text  version, you need to position  yourself as close to
the cliff  wall as possible. Try  to walk along the  edge of the
grate as close to the cliff wall as you can get. If you have the
icon version, you can subdue the  monster with a piece of sticky
purple plant.


Problem:
How do I get out of the room with the pool of acid?

Hint:
This is a  very minor maze. Walk through the  cave near the left
center of your screen. After you exit the cave turn left.


Problem:
How do I get past the beams of light?

Hint:
You need  a highly reflective piece  of glass. You will  find it
outside of  the pod where you  crashed. Walk to the  rear of the
pod and face the pod. In  the text version, Type: "look at pod".
Then  type: "get  glass". Get  as close  to the  light beams  as
possible and type:  "use glass". In the icon  version just click
on it to pick it up.


Problem:
How do I get through the drips of acid?

Hint:
Timing is critical. It is also largely trial and error. It might
be easier in slow mode.


Problem:
What the heck is this holograph image saying?

Hint:
You need  your dialect translator  and you need  to turn it  on.
Make sure you turn it on as soon as you get past the acid drips.
In  the text  version, type:  "turn translator  on". In the icon
version, click the hand cursor on it in your inventory.


Problem:
Where is Orat's cave?

Hint:
Once  you reach  the bottom  of the  trail go  one screen to the
north. Orat's  cave is to  your right. In  the icon version  the
Orat lives in a giant skull.


Problem:
How do I kill Orat?

Hint:
Two ways. One is to let  the spider droid follow you into Orat's
cave. The  other way is  to throw the  canister of water  at the
Orat.  In the  text version  you would  enter the  cave and hide
behind the  rocks. Type: "open survival  kit". Then type: "throw
water".


Problem:
Where is the piece of Orat I need?

Hint:
In the  text version, stand in  the right center portion  of the
cave and type:  "get part". In the icon  version, click the hand
cursor on the part.


Problem:
How do I give the Orat body part to the holograph image?

Problem:
How do I use the astral body cartridge?

Hint:
After  you  have  delivered  Orat's  body  part to the holograph
image, you  will be admitted  into the steam  generator chamber.
There is  a console with  a monitor on  the far wall.  Below the
monitor is a slot. In  the text version, type: "insert cartridge
in  slot".  In  the  icon  version,  select  the  cartridge from
inventory and click  it on the console. Read  the message paying
close attention to the self-destruct  code. Remember to take the
cartridge when you leave.


Problem:
How do I ride the skimmer?

Hint:
In  the text  version, type:  "get in  skimmer. Then type: "turn
key". Riding the skimmer is  an arcade sequence. Arriving safely
at  Ulence Flats  depends on  how skillfully  you can  avoid the
rocks. Slow mode is easiest. After you have successfully avoided
a  few rocks  save your   game. Continue  this method  until you
arrive at Ulence Flats.


Problem:
What do I do in the bar?

Hint:
Listen to the band. Go to the bar and order a beer. You'll never
be able to order another beer  until you drink the one you have.
If you limit  yourself to 3 beers you  may overhear an important
conversation. Try playing the slot machine.


Problem:

Hint:
Chances of making an ash of yourself (drum fill) are pretty good
here. Save your game before  you start. Each time you win, save.
Each time you  lose, restore to the last save  game. If you have
the icon version of the game,  you might try the magnetic device
to improve your luck!


Problem:
Which droid should I buy?

Hint:
You need  the pilot droid (the  NAV-201). Enter Droids B  Us and
walk upstairs. Buy the droid on the right side of the screen.


Problem:
Which ship do I buy?

Hint:
The ship  you want has a  ladder leading from the  ground to the
cockpit. It  is located one screen  north of Tinys. In  the icon
version, avoid the fuzzy little brown alien.


Problem:
How do I get enough money to buy the ship and the droid?

Hint:
First, you need to sell your  skimmer. Shortly after you get off
your skimmer you  will be approached by a  gentleman offering 30
buckazoids. You can take his offer, if you feel comfortable with
it, or decline his offer. If  you decline his offer, stay by the
skimmer and wait for him to  return with a better offer. Then go
play the  slot machine at the  bar. Play the slot  machine until
you bankrupt it.


Problem:
The droid asks, "what sector, sir?" What do I do?

Hint:
While  in the  bar you  need to  order and  drink 3 beers. While
drinking  the   3rd  beer  you  will   overhear  a  conversation
describing the sector you need to go to.


Problem:
How do I get to the Deltaur?

Hint:
You  need a  jet pack.  You need  to sell  your skimmer  back at
Ulence Flats. Don't accept the first  offer. Say no to the first
offer. The man will walk away  and then return. His second offer
will include 30 buckazoids and a jet pack. Once you have the jet
pack and the Deltaur is in view, type: "wear jet pack". Use your
cursor keys or joystick to maneuver him toward the Deltaur.


Problem:
How do I get into the Deltaur?

Hint:
There is a  door on the Deltaur with  a small rectangular window
and a handle.  Position Roger as close to  the door as possible.
Move him until his head is even  with the window, or until he is
perfectly centered  within the door  area. In the  text version,
type: "turn handle".


Problem:
How do I get out of the room with the box on the floor?

Hint:
The box  is actually a trunk.  In the text version,  type: "open
trunk", then type: "get in trunk". In the icon version, you must
use your knife to open the trunk. Someone will take the trunk to
the Sarien laundry room. There is a washing machine here.


Problem:
How do I proceed from the laundry room?

Hint:
After  you find  yourself in  the laundry  room walk  up to  the
washing machine.  In the text  version, type: "open  door". Then
type:  "get  in  machine".  You  will  find yourself wearing the
latest in Sarien  fashions. This will enable you  to walk freely
about the ship.


Problem:
My helmet fell off. Can I prevent this?

Hint:
No.


Problem:
How do I keep from getting shot?

Hint:
It might  be easier if  you put your  game in slow  mode. In the
text version,  press F6 to  fire your pulse  ray as soon  as you
enter a new screen. In the icon version, click the pulseray icon
on your targets.


Problem:
How do I get past the guardian droid?

Hint:

it is not there.


Problem:
How do I kill the guard guarding the star generator?

Hint:
You need a  gas grenade. The gas grenades are  at the end of the
counter  in the  weapons room.  When you  are directly above the
guard  drop the  grenade on  him. In  the text  version you must
type: "drop grenade".


Problem:
The droid in the weapons room wants an ID card. Where is it?

Hint:
After you are  wearing the Sarien uniform and  you have the text
version, type:  "look pockets". In the  icon version, search the
floor where you obtained your disguise.


Problem:
How do I get the gas grenade?

Hint:
Before you show your ID, make sure you are in slow mode. This is
the easiest way. While the droid is getting your pulse ray, walk
to  the end  of the  counter. In  the text  version, type:  "get
grenade".


Problem:
What is the code to destroy the star generator?

Hint:
The code is  revealed by playing the Astral  Body cartridge back
on Kerona.


Problem:
How do I turn off the force field?

Hint:
You  need to  kill the  guard. Stand  in the  middle of the ramp
directly above  the star generator.  In the text  version, type:
"drop grenade".  Then approach his body  and type: "search body"
to obtain a remote control device. Next, type: "push button". In
the icon  version, get the remote  control device and use  it to
click on the force field emitters.


Problem:
How do I get off the Deltaur?

Hint:
You may  have noticed that  one of the  elevators did not  work.
Once  you  set  the  destruct  mode  on  the  star generator the
elevator will work. Take this  elevator to an escape vehicle. In
the text version, type: "push button" to start the ship.
