1. Aboard the Spaceship Arcada
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
(This level begins with Roger Wilco, you, stumbling out of a broom
closet. Right now, all you have is 3 buckazoids (alien currency) in
your inventory. The screen will shake a lot, as the ship is preparing
for self-destruction. The clock on the corner of the screen is counting
down how much time you have left to escape the Arcada. If the clock
runs down to zero, you'll gonna be going down with the ship. Lucky for
you, I know the way out)
Move three screens left.
Use the hand cursor on the dead body you find there to search his body.
(You just got the electronic key-card)
Go right one screen.
Quickly get in the elevator to avoid the aliens. These guys are armed
and will blow a large hole in you if you get too close. You are now on
the bottom floor.
When the guards are off screen, get back in the elevator. Now you're on
the top floor again.
Go right one screen.
Wait a few seconds, and a very badly hurt man will walk in.
Walk up to the man and click the talk cursor on him to hear his dying
words.

"stars", then he'll die)

in front of you.

Use the hand cursor to type in the code sequence and then press the
"ENTER" button on the keypad. It is the code for the topic "stars" and
is found in the copy-protection section of the game manual. For legal
reasons, I can't give you the code in this guide.
(The gray robot will retrieve the "stars" cartridge for you)
As soon as the robot returns, use the hand cursor to take the small
green box from the hands of the robot.

Walk out of this room the same way you came in.
Go right two screens.
Get in the yellow and black striped elevator. Hurry up, or the guards
will catch you.
Click on the options box, and turn the game speed all the way up. This
will make it easier to get past the next two guards. Yeah, I guess it
is kind of cheating, oh well.
Walk off the lower right section of the screen.
Go right one screen.
Change the game speed back to normal, it's already served its purpose.

your helmet.
Press the button on the far left of the small control panel you just
brought up. This is the button that says auto-nav.

2. The Planet of Kerona
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
(Now you find yourself sitting in the cockpit of your once great escape
pod. All of the controls are damaged beyond repair, and the windshield
is shattered into a million pieces. It looks like its first space
voyage was also its last. Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust, we just
have to move on with our lives.)

(You just found a pocketknife and a can of dehydrated water. Anytime a
gray text box appears saying that you are thirsty, you should use the
canister of water on yourself as soon as possible)
Turn the game speed as high up as it will go, so the metal spider won't
catch you.
Go down one screen.
Walk off of the screen near the lower right corner.
Go up one screen.
Use the hand cursor on the purple blob that rests against the rocks in
the middle of the screen

This spider is filled with explosives, and will go off as soon as it
gets near you. So avoid it at any cost)

head. Just listen to what he has to say. Your mission is to kill the

Use the hand cursor on the small object that now sits where the monster
once stood.
(You just picked up the proof you need)

cave as soon as possible. You can die of dehydration in no time at all)
Go down one screen.
Walk up the spine all the way back to the trap door, just like you did
before.
Go up through the cave, heading back to the room with the big head.
Your only danger this time is the drops of acid that still fall from
the ceiling.

the proof.
Take the Orat piece out of your inventory.
Click the Orat piece on the area right in front of big guy's face.

nothing more than an allusion, created by a race of friendly aliens
trying to protect themselves. In the middle of this room, you see a
computer screen and console. To the right of that, is the sand skimmer
you were promised)
Take the "stars" cartridge out of your inventory.
Click the cartridge on the computer console, and you will receive the
following very important message.
_____________________________________________________________________
| |
| Whoever shall read this: My name is Dr. Slash Vohaul, I am a |
| scientist with The Star Generator Project aboard the Starlab Arcada.|
| |
| We have just successfully completed development an testing of the |
| Star Generator. During this time I have come to believe that our |
| progress has been monitored by others. I fear that the Sariens may |
| have learned of our mission. |
| |
| If my fears prove true, The Star Generator and the people of our |
| universe are in serious jeopardy. The Star Generator is a miraculous|
| device. Used as intended, it will help preserve life for eons to |
| come. Used as a device of evil, it would cause the destruction of |
| millions of lives and enslave all who oppose the Sariens. |
| |
| Encoded within this cartridge are all the plans and specifications |
| for the Star Generator. Should any disaster befall the Star |
| Generator, scientists would be able to create a duplicate of the |
| Star Generator with this information. |
| |
| Please guard it with your life and return it to the Xenon ruling |
| body as quickly as possible. |
| |
| Important Note: |
| The Star Generator is capable of self-destruction. This was |
| introduced to the system as a precaution. To activate it one must |
| enter the code 3885. |
| |
| A five-minute time will begin to count down. Beware, anyone within |
| 5 kilometers of the Star Generator will be in danger once the timer |
| has been initiated. Please be careful and GOOD LUCK! |

Use the hand cursor on the green area of the computer console to
retrieve your cartridge.
Walk toward the blue ship, this is the sand skimmer.
Use the hand cursor on the light-blue railing that leads up to the sand
skimmer.
(You will speed away from this room and you'll be given to options. You
can A. play a little game where you try to avoid rocks in your skimmer,
or B. just skip the whole sequence and go straight to your destination.
Trying to avoid the rocks really isn't much fun, or difficult, so I
would just go ahead and skip it.)

3. The Settlement on the Ulence Flats
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
(You pull up in your sand skimmer right outside a place called the
"Rocket Bar". A laser field that only allows aircraft to exit surrounds
this area. It looks like you need a new ship, and fast. The first being
you see is a purple alien dressed as a 1930's gangster. He leans up
against the bar, casually checking out his surroundings. He takes
notice of you as soon as you pull up)
(He will walk up to you, and offer you 25 buckazoids for you jetpack.
Refuse his offer by choosing "No way" as your response to his question.
(He'll stroll away in disappointment, then walk right back up to you
with a new offer. Now he says he'll give you his jetpack, 35
buckazoids, and a couple of coupons. This is the best offer you're
gonna get, so take it.)
Choose "Yes, it's a deal" as your response to his question.

"Droids B Us", and a coupon for 5 buckazoids and a free beer at the

of the planet.)

4. Attack on the Sarien Battle Cruiser
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
(You exit your colorful little journey through the galaxy with a large,
green, mantis-shaped spaceship in view. Your navigational droid
identifies it as a Sarien Battle Cruiser. Inside this massive
spacecraft is the Star Generator and the alien race that has stolen it.
You have to stop them from using it as the ultimate weapon, anyway you
can!)

Respond to his question by clicking "No".

of the vessel.)
