​

XENON ORBITAL STATION 4

​

You begin your adventures outside Orbital Station 4.  Your wristwatch

beeps, indicating someone is trying to contact you.  Unfortunately, the

distraction caused you to lose grip of your broom… again.  LOOK

WATCH to see the light flashing, and type ’C’ to see your boss

demanding you go inside to clean up the mess from a recently docked

shuttle.  Sigh, a janitor’s work is never done!  For some fun, LOOK

WATCH again, and use ‘H’ to see your Horoscope, and ‘T’ to see the Time & Temperature.  When you’re ready, press F10 to exit the close-up

of your watch.  Now walk up the wall (yes, really!) to the hatch - the

hatch will flip over, taking you inside the Orbital Station.  

 

After the decontamination process, walk over to your uniform hanging

on the wall, and CHANGE SUIT.  Walk over to lockers on the right.  

OPEN LOCKER and LOOK LOCKER, then GET PUZZLE and GET

SUPPORTER.  Now walk through door on the left.  

 

As soon as you enter the room, your boss starts shouting at you.  Really,

is that any way to treat someone who saved the entire universe from

the Sariens (SQ1)?  Pity there’s nothing you can do about it - you just

have to obey his orders.  Walk over to the yellow lift on the left, and

then enter the transport shuttle.  

 

In the docking bay, climb down the stairs and enter the shuttle.  

However, you’re surprised to find that the shuttle isn’t entirely empty.  

Two thugs beat you up and knock you out.  

​

 

 

SLUDGE VOHAUL

 

You wake up, only to find yourself in the company of Vohaul himself!  

He has a long chat with you, while he explains his latest diabolical plan -

he’s going to use door-to-door life insurance salesmen to take over the

planet.  The horror of it all!  You are drugged, and when you wake up,

you find yourself on Labion.  

​

​

​

LABION

​

Vohaul’s goons were supposed to take you to Vohaul‘s mines, so you

don‘t mess up his plans again.  But the plans change drastically when

the hover ship runs out of fuel and crash-lands on the planet surface.  

You need to take control of the situation, before more goons come

looking for you.  

 

After your less than glamorous landing, SEARCH GUARD and TAKE

KEYCARD.  Also LOOK HOVERCRAFT and PUSH BUTTON to turn

the homing beacon off.  

 

Walk up to the next screen.  You hear a strange ‘Twang’ coming from

the east.  You can investigate that later - for now, quickly hide in the

foliage on the right.   If you’re properly hidden, Vohaul’s thug won’t see

you.  

 

After the thug has gone, take lower-right path to next screen.  You see

one of the natives hanging from a rope.  Poor little guy.  This must be

the ‘Twang’ you heard earlier.  Walk up to him, and UNTIE ROPE to free

him.  He runs off, glad to be free.  

 

Go left twice and SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Those blue spores look

unusual.  Walk close to them, but not too close (or you’ll be paralysed),

and TAKE SPORE.  Now make your way onto the high ledge at the back.  

That white thing is a mailbox, so LOOK MAILBOX, LOOK SLOT,

LOOK TRAY, and READ SIGN.  Now if you check your Inventory, you’ll

see you have an ORDER FORM for a WHISTLE.  POST ORDER FORM,

LOOK TRAY again, and TAKE WHISTLE.  Wow, fast delivery!  

 

Walk off the high ledge, so you are back at the ledge below.  Head up

one screen, and SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  There is a strange blue

plant that has roots spreading out everywhere.  Change your speed to

slowest, and then work your way through the root maze, being careful

not to touch any of the roots.  When you get to the end of the root

maze, TAKE BERRIES from the bush.  Now SAVE YOUR GAME

HERE, and make your way back through the root maze.  When you’re

back at start of the root maze, put your speed back to how you like it,

and head back down to the mailbox screen.  

 

Go right, and then take upper-right path, so you see the swamp.  SAVE

YOUR GAME HERE.  Now there is a swamp monster that will eat you if

you enter his swamp.  You have to make yourself as unappealing as

possible to him.  RUB BERRIES ON SELF, then enter the swamp.  Go

right - the swamp monster will attack, but immediately spit you back

out again.  

 

After the swamp monster has decided he doesn’t want to eat you, go to

top of the screen, in the centre, and look for the deeper area when

Roger starts swimming, and then HOLD BREATH.  Roger auto-

matically dives down into the swamp.  Swim down, left, and then up

again.  Don’t waste any time under the water, or you’ll drown.  In the

hidden cave, you see a beautiful glowing gem, so walk over to it, and

TAKE GEM.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Now walk back over to the

pool.  

​

When you’re in the pool, HOLD BREATH again, swim right, and back

up to the surface.  

 

In the swamp, go right twice to the deep fissure.  Notice that tree on

the edge of the fissure?  Go over to it, and CLIMB TREE.  The tree

breaks, and falls across the fissure like a bridge.  Continue right to the

next screen.  

 

You’re in a forest, on the other side of the fissure.  Start walking right,

until you’re snared by the rope, just like the native was earlier.  After a

few moments, you pass out.  

 

When you come to, you find yourself trapped in a cage, with your captor

sitting nearby.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  TALK GUARD, and then

TALK GUARD again.  When he comes over to you, THROW SPORES

at him to paralyze him.  Quickly SEARCH GUARD, TAKE KEY,

UNLOCK DOOR, and OPEN DOOR.  This all has to be done quickly, or

the guard will come to his senses and kill you.  Now walk out the cage,

over to the rope, and TAKE ROPE.  

 

Go up one screen.  As soon as you see the hovercraft take off, head left,

before the goons spot you.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Walk left

again, and you find yourself back at the edge of the fissure.  CLIMB

TREE, and when you’re half-way across, TIE ROPE TO LOG.  SAVE

YOUR GAME HERE, and CLIMB DOWN.  

 

You’re hanging by a rope, high above the gorge.  There’s a huge monkey

here, and he looks hungry!  Lower yourself to bottom of the rope

(careful not to fall off), and then SWING ROPE.  When you think

you’re in the right position, press F6 to jump off the rope, to the left.  

Now walk left into the cave.  

 

It’s dark in this cave.  You can’t see anything.  Walk as far left as you

dare.  Now remember that gem you picked up earlier?  USE GEM, and

you automatically hold the gem in your hand, lighting up the cave.  

Continue left to the next screen.  

 

Uh-oh, you didn’t see the shaft in the floor.  You fall straight down

through it.  As luck would have it, the shaft leads to the Pinkunz

Canyon.  

​

​

​

PINKUNZ CANYON

​

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  The Pinkunz want to help you, since you

rescued one of their own earlier (you DID rescue the little guy… didn‘t

you?).  GET GEM that you dropped near the cave entrence, then follow

them down to the next screen.   

 

Listen to the Pinkunz Chief.  He tells you to just say the word, when

you’re ready to leave.  Have a look around if you want, but you can’t do

anything.  When you’re ready, literally say THE WORD.  The Pinkunz will

move a rock out of the way, revealing a ladder.  Climb down the ladder,

into darkness.  

​

​

​

THE MAZE

​

It’s pitch black here - time to use that glowing gem again, so PUT

GEM IN MOUTH.  Ahh, you have a little light now.  SAVE YOUR GAME

HERE.  Now you have to navigate through a maze.  Here we go: 

 

Climb down to bottom of the ladder.
Crawl right to the next ladder.
Climb down ladder a bit, and take first tunnel on the right.
Crawl right a bit, to the next ladder.
Climb down ladder, and take tunnel on the right. 
Again, crawl right, to the next ladder.
Climb down to bottom of the ladder.
Crawl left , and keep crawling until you reach the third ladder.  
Climb down ladder, and take first tunnel on the right. 
Crawl right, until you reach the exit.   

Phew!  I bet you’re glad to be out of that maze!  

You’ve reached an area with waterfalls and a pool.  Enter pool, and follow the stream to the next screen.  When it splits into 2 directions, head right, and let the stream take you to the next screen.  

You’ll be sucked into a whirlpool here, but don’t worry.  You’ll soon emerge in a small pool outside the cave.  

​

​

​

ESCAPE LABION

​

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  From the pool, walk right to the next

screen.  Hmmm, there doesn’t seem to be any way out of here. 

 

Not yet, anyway.  You’ll need to make your own exit.  Remember the

WHISTLE you got from the mailbox earlier?  While you are still in the

pool, BLOW WHISTLE.  The Labion Terror Beast blasts his way

through the rock to greet you.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.   Now leave

the pool, and quickly THROW PUZZLE to the beast.  While he is busy

trying to figure out the puzzle, TAKE ROCK from the small pile of

rubble the beast created, then head up through the rock.  

 

You’re now hiding behind a bush, at the base of a landing pad.  A guard

paces back and forth on the platform above.  You need to take out the

guard, before he sees you.  SLING ROCK AT GUARD (simply

throwing the rock isn’t enough), and the guard fall down in front of you.  

Walk over to the door, and INSERT KEYCARD.  Enter the door, and

the lift takes you up to the platform.  

 

Walk to back of the ship, and ENTER SHIP.  You’re now inside the ship.  

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  First thing you need to do, is PUSH

POWER BUTTON.  Now TURN DIAL to your left, to set it to VAC (the

ship travels vertically, allowing you to take off), and then PUSH

THRUSTER BUTTON.  Now PULL LEVER, and let the ship rise up off

the planet.  

 

When you’re alerted that ‘adequate altitude has been achieved’,

TURN DIAL on your left again, to set the ship to horizontal flight.  

Now PULL LEVER that you’re holding, and you’ll start flying.  Your plan

of escape is working.  

 

Wait for a few moments, until Vohaul appears on your monitor.  He’s

taken control of your ship, and he’s bringing you back to his asteroid.  

Damn!  So close, and yet so far.

 

All you can do, is wait for the ship to dock on Vohaul’s asteroid.  

​

​

​

VOHAUL’S ASTEROID

​

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Walk left along the platform, to the lift.  

Enter lift, and go to level THREE (simply type ‘three’).  Walk left twice -

if you look carefully, you’ll see a door, and some buttons next to it.  

PUSH BUTTON to open the door.  This is the janitor’s cupboard.  

Enter cupboard, and TAKE PLUNGER.  Now return to the lift.  

 

Go to Level FOUR.  Walk left twice to the janitor’s cupboard, and

PUSH BUTTON to open the door.  Enter cupboard and TAKE GLASS

CUTTER.  Leave cupboard, and walk left to the bathrooms.  PUSH

BUTTON to enter bathroom (it doesn‘t matter which one).  Go to the

empty cubicle and OPEN DOOR, then GET PAPER.  Now leave bath-

room, and head back to the lift.

 

Go to Level FIVE.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Walk left once, and

make sure you’re walking along bottom of the screen, to avoid monster

in the cage.  Also, make sure you avoid the French-kissing monster and

the floor polisher.   Now walk left twice, to the janitor’s cupboard, and

PUSH BUTTON to open the door.  Enter cupboard and TAKE

WASTEBASKET and TAKE OVERALLS.  Something falls from the

pocket of the overalls, so TAKE LIGHTER.  Now leave the cupboard,

and head back to the lift.  

 

Go back to Level ONE, and SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Make your way

back to the ship, and walk down the stairs, to the long corridor.  Try to

walk right - a barrier stops you.  Try to go left - another barrier stops

you.  The floor is shifting, revealing a pit of acid underneath.  Yikes!  

Wait until the floor is nearly gone, then PUT PLUNGER ON WALL -

Roger uses this to hold himself above the acid pit until the floor resets

itself.  Now LET GO of the plunger.  The barriers will now disappear,

leaving you free to continue exploring.  

 

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Now Vohaul’s security robots are waiting

at either end of the corridor for you… and they are relentless!  PUT

PAPER IN BASKET, DROP BASKET, and SET FIRE TO BASKET.  This

sets off the water sprinklers, and short-circuit’s the security robots.  

 

Walk right twice, and enter Vohaul’s secret chamber.  The salesmen

clones are here, waiting to do Vohaul’s bidding.  Vohaul start gloating

about his upcoming victory.  You HAVE to stop him!  

 

Climb up the stairs in middle of the room.  When you reach the top,

Vohaul will use his shrink ray on you.  As well as making you miniature

size, the ray also transports you into a glass jar.  But that won’t stop

you.  Simply USE GLASS CUTTER to cut a door in the jar.  Luckily,

Vohaul doesn’t notice.  Walk to vent on the left, and CLIMB VENT.  

 

Wow, you’re inside Vohaul’s life support system.  Walk over to the

button, and PUSH BUTTON to turn the life support system off.  Now

walk back over the vent, and EXIT VENT to get back out.  Vohaul flips a

switch before collapsing dead.  

 

Walk left to the next screen, and see the giant computer terminal.  

Walk over to the power switch and PULL SWITCH.  Now use the

keyboard to TYPE ENLARGE.  Walk right again, and enter the glass jar

to return to your normal size.  

 

Much better!  You see Vohaul’s dead body lying on the floor, and you

also see that the salesmen clones are gone.  Vohaul must have begun

the launch, right before he died.  SEARCH VOHAUL to see the code

SHSR on his hand.  LOOK MONITOR on the left, and quickly type in

the code SHSR to abort the launch.  Press F6 to exit the close-up.  That

was a close call.  

​

​

​

ESCAPE THE ASTEROID

​

Now you have to get out of here!  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE, and climb

up stairs on the right.  

 

In the glass corridor, TAKE MASK from box on the wall, and WEAR

MASK.  Follow corridor (at one point, the glass will crack - luckily the

mask protects you from suffocating), until you reach the normal

corridors of the asteroid again.  The alarms are blaring, warning you

about the autodestruct.   

 

Head left twice, and SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Change the Speed to

Slow, and walk left again, so you are at the escape pods.  PUSH

BUTTON for the nearest (right-hand) escape pod.  Beware of the

Marrow-Matic here.  As soon as the door starts to open, ENTER POD.  

With any luck, you’ll be in the pod before the Marrow-Matic can get to

you.  

 

Once inside the pod, PUSH BUTTON to launch the pod.  Watch, as your

pod escapes the asteroid.  Unfortunately, your oxygen supplies are

dropping fast!  You won’t last for long out here.  

 

LOOK at the interior of your pod.  Walk over to the sleep chamber on

the right.  OPEN CHAMBER and CLIMB IN CHAMBER.  You’re now in a

deep cryo-sleep, hoping someone will rescue you.  

 

Sweet dreams, Roger.
