This  is  the  most  efficient way to complete the game. It is not the most
enjoyable way to do it.....just the fastest!!


NORTH is always assumed to be towards the top of your screen, SOUTH towards
the  bottom,  East  to the right and WEST to the left. Words printed within
"QUOTATION MARKS" are to be typed into the computer EXACTLY as shown.


                               THE SOLUTION


After  exiting  your Escape Pod, go SOUTH to where the Acme Rocket ship is.
Then  go  EAST until you find the vertical conveyor with the buckets moving
upwards.  Walk up as close as possible to where these buckets are. You will
get scooped up by one of them and carried up to a horizontal conveyor belt.
Quickly type "STAND UP" and then "JUMP". You will jump up and pull yourself
up on to the rail. Walk WEST until you find yourself in a Control Room with
a  Robot.  (If  you  stand  around too long you will get shot!). There is a
machine  here called a Grabber hanging on the rail. Walk directly above the
Grabber and "CLIMB DOWN". Press your left arrow key and reverse the Grabber
up  to the platform that extends out at the bottom of the screen (press the
arrow  key  a second time to stop the Grabber). "EXIT GRABBER". Walk SOUTH.
You will SAFELY fall through a chute which leads to a hollowed-out Cave.


This  is  the  Rat's Lair. Walk as far WEST as possible (you will almost be
out  of  sight) and "LOOK WALL". You will find a hole with a Reactor in it.
"GET  REACTOR".  Walk  EAST  and  "CLIMB LADDER". After climbing out of the
Rat's  Lair,  "GET THE LADDER". Remember this spot because you will have to
come back to it later! Go NORTH and then EAST into the remains of the Space
Tanker.  Walk  through  the  tunnel. One of the Rats will ambush you in the
tunnel  and  take  the  Reactor  away from you. You will have to go back to
where  you  climbed up the ladder out of the Rat's Lair and "LOWER LADDER".
Now, "CLIMB DOWN". Go back to the hole in the wall and "GET REACTOR" again.
Climb  back  out  using  the ladder. Don't forget to "GET THE LADDER". Walk
NORTH  then  EAST  to the Space Tanker tunnel. Just inside the tunnel, stop
where  the  wires hang down and "GET THE WIRE". Continue walking EAST until
you find a Large Robot Head with a broken eye. Walk as close as possible to
this  damaged  eye  (without  falling  off  the bottom of the screen!!) and
"CLIMB". You will climb through the robot's eye and DOWN into a Rubbish Pit
where  you'll  find a Large Spaceship. This is your means of getting out of
here,  but  you'll  need to fix it first! Walk around the SOUTH side of the
ship  (the  side  facing  you)  and "USE LADDER". "CLIMB" to the top of the
ship, then "OPEN HATCH".
