- ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE ROBOT MONSTERS
-
- Typed by SCOTT of ORACLE. Edited by PARASITE.
-
-
- THE GAME :
- Escape is a two player simultaneous rescue mission in which you as Jake
- or Duke must rescue Professor Sarah Bellum and free the enslaved hostages
- before they are turned into Robo-Zombies ! Find and break in to the food and
- bomb lockers to get special weapons to help you destroy the evil Reptilons.
-
- GETTING STARTED :
- The object of the game is to progress through the factories of Planet X
- rescuing the hostages and destroying the reptilons that guard them .
- To activate the escalators, find the power switch and switch it on. This will
- allow you to reach the port-o-matic and exit the level .
- Around the complex of factories you will find lockers that contain food,
- extra energy, more bombs or sometimes special weapons that will increase your
- chance of survival.
- When destroyed, some of the Reptilons will leave behind green crystals that
- enhance your `Ray power'. The more crystals you collect the more devastating
- your weapon will become.
- To rescue the hostages simply run into them and they will be beamed aboard
- your rescue ship which is orbiting Planet X. Some of the hostages have been
- imprisoned in glass cases. To unlock the glass cases you must find the
- computer console that controls them and destroy it with your ray gun.
- Every three levels you will encounter an evil Reptilon which can only be
- destroyed by continous shooting and bombing. Watch out, each Reptilon has its
- own form of defence.
- On 16-bit versions only, you will have to traverse a Canal Zone after every
- fourth factory level. In this stage Jake and Duke hop into their Cyber Sleds
- and have thirty seconds to find their way through the maze to the next factory.
- Should you make it to the end of the end of the canal in time you can choose
- the next sector to play by selecting one of three doors. You are also awarded
- an extra bar of life. Should you fail you will not get an extra bar and the
- computer will select your next sector .
- At the end of each factory you will be shown a bonus screen where you are
- rewarded for each freed hostage on that level. If you have rescued a full
- shuttle load of hostages you are awarded an extra bar of energy.
-
- HINTS and TIPS :
- Save bombs for use on the Evil Reptilon.
- Learn the layout of the factories for faster progress.
- Use your fire power wisely. Remember each shot lowers your ray power slightly
- so more powerful weapons can be lost.
- Try to rescue all the hostages for a larger life bonus at the end of each
- level.
- Don't hang around in the Canal Zone, the time limit is very tight!
- Remember two players means twice the firepower!
