GENERAL HINTS
------- -----

1] Whenever you get stuck, use the
  "HELP" command.  In most situations
  it will give you the clue that you
  need, and in at least one it is the
  only way to find out what to do.

2] Although making a map isn't really
  necessary, if you find that you keep
  going in the wrong directions, make
  one.  Although there are no places
  you can get lost in, and there isn't
  a time limit, you really don't want
  to roam around at random.

3] There are a lot of objects that you
  don't need and locations you don't
  have to go to.  They only exist to
  add flavor to the game.  For example,
  you don't need any of the items that
  you find on your ship.

4] Save the game frequently, especially
  when you are on a spaceship or on
  Venus.  If you accidentally type in
  the wrong teleport coordinates, you
  can die in the vacuum of space.
  Also, there are some items that have
  limited use, and if you use them in
  the wrong place, you can get stuck.
  Finally, the people you meet aren't
  usually very friendly...

5] When nothing seems to be happening,
  and you suspect something should, try
  going to the AUXILIARY NAVIGATION on
  your ship (east from the Teleport
  Window).  You may recieve a trans-
  mission from Earth.

6] If the sound begins to drive you
  crazy, or is keeping you from playing
  late at night, type SOUND OFF to turn
  it off.

7] Many of the items need to be used
  twice, and some even more frequently.
  Therefore, don't leave items in
  places you'll have trouble getting
  them back from.


EXACT DIRECTIONS
----- ----------

Exact commands that should be entered
are written in brackets.

Note that many of these steps do not
have to be done in the same order as
they are here, as long as they are
done.

You begin onboard your ship.  To start
off, go [W].  You now recieve a trans-
mission, so go [S] and [PRESS GREEN]
three times to read it.  Go [N,D,D,W].
Set the coordinates to Saturn with
[TYPE 64-18-52].  Go [W], and set the
teleport coordinates. [TYPE 77-34-40].
[GO WINDOW], and you are ready to begin
adventuring on Saturn.

First collect all the available items.
[N,N,N,N] [STEAL ROPE] from the Gruds.
They're going to be mad as hell, so get
out of there.  [S,W] [TAKE COIN].  Now
head for Lord Deebo's: [E,S,E,S,S,E].
[KNOCK] on the door, and a butler will
show up.  [GIVE COIN] to the butler
and go in with an [E].  Lord Deebo
wants your tribute, so [GIVE SPACESHIP]
and follow him [E].  [LOOK], and he
will tell you what he wants you to do
for him.  He'll also give you some
items.  [TAKE NOTE] [TAKE FLASHLIGHT].

Now head for the caves.  [W,W,W,N,W,S,
W,N,W].  Enter the caves, and go
[W,S,S,W].  There's a deep pit here.
[TIE ROPE TO STALAGMITE].  Now go
[D,N,E,S,D,N,W] and [TAKE KEY].  Return
with a [E,S,U,N,W,S,U]. [UNTIE ROPE].
[TAKE ROPE].  It is now time to leave
Saturn.  Go [E,N,N,E,E,S,E] and then
[GO WINDOW].  Now off to Venus!  [E]
[TYPE 96-17-14] [W] [TYPE 82-13-64].
It seems we have some company, but
ignore it for now and [GO WINDOW].

Now go [E] and [TIE ROPE TO TREE].
Go [E,D] [TAKE GUN] [U,W] [UNTIE ROPE].
Go [N,E,N].  Uh oh, an unfriendly
Venusian.  [SHOOT VENUSIAN].  Now [N]
and [DROP GUN].  [W] takes us to
Mr. Green and the Money Maker.
[GIVE NOTE] to Mr. Green and [TAKE
MONEY MAKER].  Now back to the ship.
[E] [TAKE GUN] [S] [SHOOT VENUSIAN]
[S,W,S,W] and [GO WINDOW].  Go [E] and
set the coordinates back to Saturn:
[TYPE 64-18-52] [W] [TYPE 77-34-40].
[GO WINDOW].

Now it's time to go back to Lord Deebo
and collect the reward.  [N,E,S,E]
[KNOCK] [E,E].  [GIVE MONEY MAKER] to
Lord Deebo, but he tells you some
disappointing news.  [TAKE ROCK] and
head for the store. [W,W,W,N,N,E].
[BUY MASK] [TAKE COIN] [BUY CONTAINER]
[TAKE MASK] [TAKE CONTAINER].  Now to
the caves again.  [W,W,S,S,W,N,W] and
[W,S,S,U,E,N].  Here there is a giant
(and hungry!) bat.  [SHOOT BAT].  That
gun sure is handy!  [U] [UNLOCK CHEST]
[LOOK CHEST].  To prevent confusion,
[D] [DROP KEY] [U].  [TAKE KEY] and
leave the caves with [D,S,U,N,E].  Here
is a long one: [S,E,E,N,N,E,S,E,N,N,N,
W,N].  Phew!  [UNLOCK GATE] and then
[DROP KEY].  [N,N,N,W].  You are now
at a temple.  [N,N] [TAKE GREEN]. Now
back to the caves, for the last time:
[S,S,E,S,S,S,S,E,S,S,S,W,N,W,S,W,N,W].

If you're still with me, head through
the caves with [W,S,S,U,N,W].  Here we
have a hole in the wall with a green
square around it.  We'll be seeing more
of this sort of thing soon.
[DROP GREEN].  Hmm, a blue orb falls.
[TAKE GREEN] [TAKE BLUE].  Leave the
caves with [E,S,D,N,N,E,E,S,E].
[GO WINDOW].  It is now time to take
care of that alien ship near Venus.
[E] [TYPE 96-17-14] [W] [TYPE 66-12-15]


          *** INTERMISSION ***


The adventure is now halfway completed.
You'll need your hands, so [DROP GUN]
[DROP FLASHLIGHT] [DROP CONTAINER] 
[DROP MASK].  To the alien ship...

the color of the orb.  [D/T GREEN] [W]
An orange orb is here.  [TAKE ORANGE].

[DROP PURPLE] and go [E,N,N].  Almost
finished...[DROP BROWN] and go [E].
The black orb!  [TAKE BLACK] and
[DROP WHITE]. Now [W,S,W,W,W],
[GO WINDOW], [TAKE ALL] and we're ready
to return to Saturn for one final trip.
Go [E] and [TYPE 64,18,52].  Go [W],
[TYPE 77-34-40]  and [GO WINDOW].

Go [N,W] and [BREAK TABLE].  You are
carrying too many items to take the
leg, so [DROP FLASHLIGHT], which you
won't need anymore.  [TAKE LEG].  Now:
[E,E,S,E,N,N,N,W,N,N,N,N,E,S,E].  On
the hill is the Arler.  [SHOOT ARLER],
and go [U].  Now [DROP BLACK], the
orb the Arler has been waiting for.
He invites you in, so [E].  He's read-
ing something, so [READ SCREEN].  Now
[W], and he tells you where you can
find the heliotropanite.  Go [N] and
[PRY ROCK].  [DROP LEG], [LOOK HOLE],
[TAKE HELIOTROPANITE]. [S,E] to find
the Arler has left!  [TAKE NOTE].
Here comes another long one...
[W,D,W,N,W,S,S,S,S,E,S,S,S].  We're
back at Deebo's.  [KNOCK] [E,E].  Now
[GIVE NOTE] to Deebo and [TAKE CARD].
[W,W,W,N,S,W] and [GO WINDOW].  Goodbye
to Saturn - back to Venus.  [E].
[TYPE 96-17-14] [W] [TYPE 82-13-64].
[GO WINDOW].

[E,N,E,N].  The bridge is gone!  Don't
worry - [SHOOT TREE].  [DROP GUN], we
have used it enough for one adventure.
[N,W] and [INSERT CARD].  Oh no!  Poor
Mr. Green is drowning!  [REVIVE GREEN]
with the oxygen mask.  He tells you to
go to Titan, and then dies.
[DROP MASK] [PRESS BLUE] and leave
Venus with [E,S,S,W,S] [GO WINDOW].
[E] [TYPE 70-10-24] [W] [TYPE 14-93-96]
and [GO WINDOW].

[PRESS GREEN].  [N,D,D,W].  Set the
coordinates to Pluto with
[TYPE 18-98-32] [W] [TYPE 34-76-21].
Wait a sec - there's a Baranok ship
here!  Head there with [TYPE 36-24-35].
[GO WINDOW].  [DROP BOMB] and
[GO WINDOW] again.  [LOOK BOH] and
[PRESS RED].  That takes care of the
Baranoks.

[TYPE 34-76-21].  [GO WINDOW] [E,U].
Open the door by a [PULL LEVER] [N].
[GIVE HELIOTROPANITE] to the captain.
Back to your ship with [S,D,W] and
[GO WINDOW].  [E] gives another
communication, so [E,U,U,S].  Now
[PRESS GREEN] and [N,D,D,W].  Return to
Earth with [TYPE 53-42-75], [W], and
[TYPE 66-43-44].  [GO WINDOW] and
[LOOK].
