Version 1.05 - January 17, 2001 Updated site list at the bottom of the FAQ and made some minor changes. Version 1.0 - August 17, 2000 First version of the guide. ======================================================================= 2) WEAPONS ======================================================================= This section contains information about the weapons. ---------- Plasma Gun ---------- Max. Amount: N/A Your basic weapon. It has an unlimited amount of ammo, so you'll be using this weapon during most of the game. While it is not very strong, it gets the job done. ------------- Gun Satellite ------------- Max. Amount: 4 When you use it, a small satellite will rotate around your ship. This satellite fires at nearby asteroids and enemies. You can also use it as a shield. ----- Mines ----- Max. Amount: 5 A small mine will drop out the back of your ship. Whenever an object gets near the mine, it explodes and damages the object. Remember that mines will self-destruct if nothing comes by it after a certain amount of time. ---------- Armageddon ---------- Max. Amount: 1 A useful weapon. When you activate it, your ship spins around while firing lasers all over the screen. Any nearby objects will take a lot of damage. --------------- Homing Missiles --------------- Max. Amount: 6 The name says it all. Fire it towards a target, and the missile takes care of the rest. ------------ Plasma Drill ------------ Max. Amount: 3 This weapon fires a powerful laser in front of you. Make sure you aim correctly because the beam disappears quickly. ------------- Trigger Bombs ------------- Max. Amount: 5 A fun weapon to play around with. Hold the Special key, and the bomb moves foward. Once you let go of the key, the bomb creates an explosion. ----- Laser ----- Max. Amount: 10 This weapon simply fires a laser. This laser is powerful and can go through just about anything. -------------- Ramming Shield -------------- Max. Amount: 2 This is very useful for clearing out the level. Activate it to create a fiery shield around your ship. Whenever you run into an object, it will take a lot of damage. This shield doesn't last very long, so make use of it. --------- Robo Wall --------- Max. Amount: 5 The Robo Wall isn't too useful. It creates a barrier that rotates in one spot. This barrier will damage an enemy that attempts to go through it. ------------------ Missile Armageddon ------------------ Max. Amount: 1 A rare and powerful weapon. Like the regular Armageddon, your ship spins around. But this time it fires several plasma missiles instead of lasers. --------- Smartbomb --------- Max. Amount: 2 I would consider the Smartbomb to be the best weapon in the entire game. When you use it, it creates a huge explosion that severly damages any object in it. --------- Wide Shot --------- Max. Amount: 50 The Wide Shot fires three plasma shots at once. Since it comes with a lot of ammo, it is useful for destroying objects, especially asteroids. ------------ Plasma Sword ------------ Max. Amount: 3 This weapon creates a large beam of plasma behind your ship. It comes in handy for destroying any enemies that are following you. It is also useful for getting rid of asteroids. ======================================================================= 3) ASTEROIDS ======================================================================= This section contains descriptions of the asteroids. ---------------- Classic Asteroid ---------------- This is the asteroid you'll run into the most. If you shoot them, they will split up into smaller asteroids. You won't have a problem destroying them. -------------- Mined Asteroid -------------- This asteroid is contained in a cage that has explosives. Shooting the cage will result in a large explosion, which can take out your ship. So try destroying them from a safe distance. ------------ Space Debris ------------ The debris you encounter comes in a wide assortment, but each chunk is difficult to destroy. Instead of using your ship's gun, try using a wildcard weapon. ----------------------- Indestructible Asteroid ----------------------- As the name implies, no weapon can even damage this special asteroid. While you can't destroy it, you can move around by just shooting at it. -------------- Fireball Comet -------------- When you destroy some Classic Asteroids, they will turn into this. A Fireball Comet moves very quickly but will eventually slow down. ---------------- Crystal Asteroid ---------------- Possibly the most annoying asteroid in the entire game. When you shoot at one, it will split up into smaller shards. If you don't destroy these shards, they will grow back to full-size. ------------------ Alien Egg Asteroid ------------------ You'll only encounter these in the Worm Zone. Whenever you destroy an egg, small worms will come out and follow you. They move slowly, so you can easily take them out. ----------------------- Ancient Energy Asteroid ----------------------- This one looks a lot like the Crystal Asteroid but orange. If you shoot it a couple times, it will absorb the weapon and fire back at you. This asteroid does not split up like its crystal cousin, so it makes things a lot easier. ======================================================================= 4) ENEMIES ======================================================================= This section contains information about the enemies. --------------- Standard Saucer --------------- Your typical big UFO. This enemy fires small red bolts. While it's large, only one shot is required to destroy it. ------------ Asteroid Tug ------------ An Asteroid Tug captures asteroids, which prevents you from destroying them. Its shield is always activated except when it is capturing an asteroid. So destroy the Asteroid Tug when that happens. ---------------- Crystal Ice Ship ---------------- You can find this annoying alien craft towards the end of the game. It fires small bolts of plasma that can freeze your ship for a few seconds. But these bolts are quite easy to avoid since they move only in one direction. -------------- Fuel Transport -------------- The Fuel Transport has three different sections. Two of them are heavily armored and cannot be destroyed. The front section (shaped like an arrow) is the weakpoint. Shoot it to destroy the entire thing. --- Hex --- The Hex is capable of splitting into smaller ships. When you hit the first time, it splits into two smaller stations. Hit one of them, and it splits into three fighters. Be careful around this craft. ------------ Super Saucer ------------ A much more powerful version of the Standard Saucer. It's faster and also has more armor. ------------- Repulser Beam ------------- This enemy can be very annoying. It has a yellow beam in the front that can send your ship flying in the wrong direction. Destroy these as soon as you can. ----------- Nuke Driver ----------- A Nuke Driver is powered by nuclear power (obviously). When it moves, it leaves behind an exhaust trail that can destroy your ship. But a Nuke Driver is easy to destroy since it moves so slow. ---------- Vulturoids ---------- A quick and agile craft. The Vulturoid will come after you if you just stay in one spot. So make them leave you alone by flying after them. ----------- Regenerator ----------- A ship with four rotating blades. If you destroy one of its blade, it will be regenerated. So destroy them as soon as possible. ======================================================================= 5) ZONES ======================================================================= This section contains descriptions and some tips for the zones. -------------------- Zone 1 - Sigma Delta -------------------- Since this is the first zone, you won't find many obstacles to make things difficult. Most of the asteroids in this zone are the basic kind but there are some Crystal Asteroids, which can really bug you. Try to destroy them as soon as possible so they won't grow back to full-size. ------------------- Zone 2 - Black Hole ------------------- Like the name says, there is a black hole in this zone. The black hole will suck in your ship if it stays in the same spot for too long. If your craft stays in the center of the black hole, it will eventually explode. So keep moving! This zone introduces Space Debris. Try destroying them with Wildcard Weapons to make it easier. ------------ Zone 3 - Sun ------------ This zone has a sun in the lower-right corner. At different times during the level, the sun will fire a solar flare. This flare will always explode in the upper-left corner. You'll also find the Ancient Energy Asteroid in this zone. Destroy them from a safe distance so their shot won't hit you. ------------------ Zone 4 - Worm Zone ------------------ This zone is the breeding ground for a group of alien worms. Instead of the usual asteroid, you also have to destroy all alien eggs. Each time you destroy an egg, little worms will pop out. Destroy those too. Remember that the alien queen will come out of the hole in the lower-left corner of the screen. She always moves in the same pattern when she comes out. ------------------------ Zone 5 - Save the Earth! ------------------------ After invading their territory, the aliens are a bit ticked off...to say the least. The aliens have now sent a large group of asteroids to Earth, so your objective is to destroy the asteroids before they hit the planet. Try to move your craft a little bit below the Earth. This will help you to destroy the asteroids easier. Remember that you only have to hit a large asteroid once to prevent it from hitting Earth. The only enemy you'll encounter is the Crystal Ice Ship. Try to destroy it as soon as possible so it won't freeze you. ---------------- The Final Battle ---------------- Before you can celebrate, you have one final level to complete. In the first part of the level there are several asteroids floating around, so destroy all of them. Picking up an Armageddon weapon helps to make things easier. Once you clear out all the asteroids, a large crystal ship comes in from the upper-left. That is the aliens' mothership. To destroy the first form, destroy the small crystals that fire at you. Then the mothership will change to another form. Just keep firing at it, and you'll eventually destroy it. ======================================================================= 6) CONTACT / LEGAL INFORMATION ======================================================================= --------------------- Copyright Information --------------------- (c) Copyright 2000-2001 MetroidMoo This FAQ cannot be distributed in books, magazines, etc. or in any other form of printed or electronic media in any way.
