                       MERCENARY:  Escape from Targ



Interesting ideas:
Go to the  kitchen  in   Palayar  Colony  Craft  at  08.08, alt:64997.
after dropping  all  your  items,  pick  up  the  kitchen  sink.  This
will allow you  to  pick  up  any  objects  that  were  already solid,
such  as  the  skull  and   crossbones  symbols,  spacecraft  and  the
spiders  web.   The  spiders  web  allows   you  to  open  any  locked
doors.   Taking  the  skull  and   crossbones   symbol  off  the  door
allows you to enter safely.  If  you  fall  out  of the Palayar Colony
Craft and are carrying the cheese,  stop  falling, drop the cheese and
board it. You can now fly  around.  When first crashing on Targ, don't
touch the keyboard for a  while  to  see some humorous comments appear
from Benson. If you destroy the 'Encounter' sign and try to leave the
planet,  you  will  be  told,   'The   author   won't  let  you  leave
until  you  fix  his  advert.'    Either   not  shoot  it,  or  repair
it with the anti-time bomb. When being  attacked by an enemy ship, fly
backwards at a speed of  -625  so  that  it  follows you. Then you can
shoot it. Get the spiders web   from  complex 09.06 and use it instead
of  the  pass  to  get  the   Interstellar  Ship  from  complex  03.15
and then just fly  off  the  planet  to  complete  the  game. While in
possession of the kitchen sink, you  can  pick the Palayar Brother In-
law's spaceship and put it on  another  path. Entering the door marked
with a skull and crossbones in the laboratory, will transport you back
to the ground and  all  locations  are  reversed.  Fall off the Colony
Craft and press 'L' to stop  your  falling.  You can now  walk around,
drop objects and use ships as though you are on the ground.

Doors:
Diagonal line  from  the  top  left  to  the  bottom  right,  |\|  are
transporter exits only. Diagonal line from the top right to the bottom
left, |/| are transporter entrances only. Cross go both directions.

Objects:
Antenna........Makes the radio in the communications room work.
Antigrav.........enables  you  to   pick   up   very   heavy  objects,
such as ships.
Anti-time  Bomb...Reassembles  any   building   previously  destroyed.
Just fire at the wreckage and it reassembles. Photon Emitter...Acts as
a torch.
Sights...........Helps your aim.
Metal  Detector...Changes  the   colour   of   the  information  panel
to who owns the land:
RED - No one owns it.
GREEN - Palyar.
BLUE - Mechanoids.
Poweramp.........Boosts  the  speed  of  the  Dominion  Dart  to  that
of the cheese while carried.
Novadrive........Enables the Intergalactic Craft to function.
