SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Wow, you’re surrounded by gigantic mush-
rooms! You can see the escape pod where the distress beacon came
from but you can‘t get to it from here. Walk left to the next screen,
then double-back through that hole in the stem, so you are now next to
the escape pod.
Look inside the escape pod - whoever was here, has now gone. Take
the COAT, and you’ll now see a red button flashing away. Push red
button to turn off the homing beacon. Leave the escape pod.
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Walk left to the next screen again. Walk to
edge of the plant. Watch the cutscene as Beatrice attacks you. Don’t
hang around here for too long - give COAT to Beatrice, so she can climb
up. Now quickly use STARCON PCD on yourself, and ask Flo to beam
you up. Grab hold of the vine that Beatrice lowers for you. And just as
you are surrounded by the pukoid mutants… Flo beams you up. Phew!
​

SCS EUREKA
​
Watch an emotional cutscene, as you discover Beatrice - your crush -
has been infected with the pukoid virus. There’s no cure, so she asks
you to put her in cryogenic suspension. *sniff*
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Push the red button on the wall next to
Spike, and this will open the Cryogenic Chamber. Open the cryogenic
bed, pick up Beatrice, and place her inside the cryogenic bed. Now
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Look at control panel on the bed to get
access to it. Now the control panel has to be set right - get it wrong,
and Bea will become a solid block of ice OR she’ll be roasted alive,
depending on if you try to freeze her or cook her. So set her on Cryo-
freeze for 10 seconds. Good, now she’ll be safe, until you can find a
cure. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE, then leave the Transporter Room.
Return to the Bridge and sit in your Command Chair. When Droole
informs you that you’re under attack from the Goliath, wait for Goliath
to fire a shot, then command Droole to take ‘Evasive Action’, then
command him to enter the asteroid field.
Watch a cutscene, which ends with Cliffy drifting away into space. You
need to rescue him, Roger. ASAP! Exit your Command Chair, and leave
the Bridge.
This corridor is the Engineering Section. Press that red button on the
right wall to activate the lift, then stand on the lift in middle of the
floor. You descend down into the Pod Bay.
Look at console panel on right side of the room, and use console panel.
Select Pod Rotation to turn to pod around. Now SAVE YOUR GAME
HERE, then enter the pod.
Now this is a somewhat tricky mini-game. You have to use the pod to
rescue Cliffy. Cliffy is the red dot you see on the radar screen. SCS
Eureka is the green dot. Turn the pod around (left control stick) until
you see Cliffy in front of you. Extend the claw arm (right control stick).
Open the claw with the thumb button (right control stick). Now
gradually move forward. When Cliffy is in range, a message will flash up
saying ‘Target In Range’. Close claw with the thumb button (right
control stick), and you’ll grab Cliffy. Now SAVE YOUR GAME HERE
again. You have to navigate your way back to the SCS Eureka, which is
the green dot on the radar screen. Hopefully, you won’t run out of
oxygen or fuel.
Back on board, Cliffy is okay, thankfully. But you still need to escape the
Goliath. Use console panel on the right, and select Elevator Door to
open the turbo lift. Now enter the turbo lift.
Return to Bridge, and sit in your Command Chair. Command Droole to
‘Lay In A Course’ for the Genetix Lab, and enter 41666 (the coordinates
you saw on the soup canister on Klorox II) in the keypad. Command
Droole to travel at ‘Lite Speed’. While you are travelling, talk to Flo and
Droole, and ask about everything. When you arrive at your destination,
command Droole to slow down to ‘Regular Speed’. Command Droole to
enter ‘Standard Orbit’. Exit your Command Chair, and make your way to
the Transporter Room.
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Stand on the transporter pad, and command
it to Energize.
GENETIX LAB
​
Oh dear! You’ve had a little accident, Roger. You’ve turned into a fly,
and you’ve never looked better (giggle)! Fly onto the STARCON PCD on
the ground, but you can’t activate it. Fly up again. Fly to edge of the
pond (but don’t fly too far over it), and a frog will jump up to try and eat
you. The frog will land on the STARCON PCD and activate it. Fly onto
the STARCON PCD again, and you’ll see Flo onscreen. Talk to Flo, and
when conversation is over, fly up again.
Fly left to the next screen. Notice the key card lock hidden in the rock
wall on the left. Fly inside the lock. Now fly over different beams, and
take note of which beams affect the locking mechanism.
Fly left again, to find yourself in a research lab. Fly down to the
workstation in lower right part of the room, and look at the monitor.
Fly onto the Restart button. Check the Systems tab, then the Security
Tab, and look at all 3 cameras. Watch Cliffy and WD40 beam down on
Camera 3. Go back to Main Menu. Check Activity Log tab, read the
data, and use ‘Next’ until you’ve seen all the data, then go back to Main
Menu. Check the Projects tab, and read through all the data, using
‘Next’, until you’ve read everything. Wow, so the Primordial Soup was
an experiment based on good intentions, that went horribly wrong.
And it seems that extreme cold is the only way to fight it. Go back to
the Main Menu. Check the Accounting tab, read the data, and use
‘Next’ until you’ve read everything - notice all the bribes Captain Quick
took! Now go back to the Main Menu. Now fly up, away from the
monitor.
Have a look around the lab if you like, but you can’t do anything. When
you’re ready, fly to the key card lock on upper right of the room, and fly
through it. Continue right, until you’re back at the waterfall.
Cliffy and WD40 are here. Fly onto Cliffy, then lead him right to the next
screen, and up behind the rock, to the dumpster. Fly onto your body,
and Cliffy will make everything right again. Ahhh, it’s good to have your
body back!
Make your way back to the screen with the waterfall. Remember, the
key card lock was hidden in rock wall on the left. Now you’re back in
your own body, you can’t fly through the lock mechanism - you’ll have to
find another way to get back inside the lab. If you were paying
attention when you were a fly inside the locking mechanism, you’ll
know which beams affected the lock. In your Inventory, use HOLE
PUNCH on the MERCHANT OF VENUS CARD, and make an ‘X’ pattern
on the left side of the CARD. Now use MERCHANT OF VENUS CARD
on the key card lock to open the door. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE, and
walk through door into the Research Lab again. Back in human form,
you can do more than what a fly could do. Climb down the stairs, and
press that black button on the back wall. Take LIQUID NITROGEN
CANISTERS from the panel that opens, then leave the lab.
Ask Cliffy to beam you back up to the ship.

SCS EUREKA
​
Spike escapes from his HabiTube, and starts jumping on the cryo
chamber where Beatrice is, and then jumping on the transporter pad.
He’s clearly trying to tell you something. Choose the ‘Initiate A Manual
Control Bypass’ option. This may be your only chance to save Beatrice.
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Look at the cryo chamber and then look at
the control panel. Defrost Beatrice for 10 seconds. Now she’s
defrosted, you have to act quickly. Open the cryo chamber, pick
Beatrice up, and place her on the transporter pad. Cliffy will do his
thing, and… Beatrice is CURED! She’s exhausted, but she’s cured! You
place her back in the cryo chamber so she can rest and get her strength
back. Talk to WD40, and discuss how to deal with the Goliath.
Return to the Bridge, and sit down in your Command Chair. Command
Droole to ‘Lay In A Course’ for Gingivitus, and enter coordinates 81100
in the keypad. Command Droole to travel at ‘Lite Speed’. While you are
travelling, talk to Flo and Droole, and ask about everything. When you
arrive at your destination, command Droole to slow down to ‘Regular
Speed’. WD40 will appear on the monitor, and warn you that the
Goliath is approaching… FAST. It will be in visual range in 10 seconds.
You need to do something quick.
Now if you haven’t notice yet, there are 3 buttons next to your right
hand, as you sit in the Command Chair. The green one (left) lets you
contact Cliffy in Engineering. The red one (right) brings up a timer that
activates the Self Destruct. The orange one (middle) lets you contact
the Science Section. Press the green button to contact Cliffy, command
him to ‘Cloak The Ship’. Now exit your Command Chair, and leave the
Bridge.
Make your way to the Transporter Room. Cliffy shows you some
schematics of the Goliath. Look for a small area below the crew
quarters, where Cliffy tells you that this is the best place to board the
Goliath (note how he says ’you’, and not ’we’). Leave the Transporter
Room.
Press that red button on the right wall to activate the lift, then stand on
the lift in middle of the floor. You descend down into the Pod Bay.
Look at console panel on right side of the room, and use console panel.
Select Pod Rotation to turn to pod around. Now SAVE YOUR GAME
HERE, then enter the pod.
From inside the pod, you can see the Goliath. Click on the small hull
section below the crew quarters (the least populated section, according
to the schematics), and you’ll travel to that area. When you reach the
Goliath, press red & white button to open the pod door, then use
LASER TORCH on the hull, to cut a hole through it. You automatically
enter the Goliath.

​
THE SCS GOLIATH
​
You made it onto the Goliath, and now you have to be very careful, so
the Pukoid mutants don’t catch you. So SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.
Stay hidden on the stairs, and wait for the guard to appear, and then
leave again. Make your way up the stairs to the control panel in middle
of the room, and use the control panel. Put WARP DISTRIBUTER CAP
into the slot, so that the warp drives indicates it’s online. Now exit the
close-up.
Wait for the guard to come and go again, then walk on up through the
door. In the corridor, pick up grating on the floor, and drop down into
the maintenance tunnels.
Now you’re currently on Level 8. You have to make your way to the
Transporter Room. But these maintenance tunnels are like a maze! So
here’s how you get through them:
You’re on Level 8. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.

There is a panel in wall on left.
Look at panel, and flip switch to deactivate the shields.
A very mutated Captain Quirk catches you. Watch a cutscene, as WD40
comes to the rescue. In the Transporter Room, wait for all the Pukoids
to step onto the platform, then command Cliffy to Energise. He
successfully separates the bad soup from the crew members, thus
saving them.
Except for Captain Quirk. He’s escaped! Things are NOT looking good!
When Flo contacts you, choose to beam back to the Eureka.
​

SCS EUREKA
​
Back on board the Eureka, quickly make your way back to the Bridge,
and sit in your Command Chair. Command Droole to ‘Fire’, then
command Droole to ‘Activate RRS’. You suck the blob up like a vacuum
cleaner, but you can’t contain that blob for long. Command Flo to
‘Abandon Ship’, which she‘s only too happy to do! Sit down in your
Command Chair again. Now remember those 3 buttons next to your
right hand on the Command Chair? Press red (right) button, and an
Astro Chicken egg timer pops up. Click on the nuclear explosion picture
to activate it. Now you only have 10 minutes until your ship blows up.
Exit your Command Chair, and make your way to the Transporter Room.
Look at Beatrice - she’s understandably anxious to get out of the cryo
chamber. Open the chamber, and tell her what’s going on. Now both of
you stand on the transporter pad, and command it to Energize.
Dammit! It’s blown a fuse! Of all the times for it to break down, it
chooses NOW!
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Leave Transporter Room, so you are in
Engineering corridor. Notice the service tunnel at upper right section of
the corridor, next to doorway to the Bridge. Crawl into the service
tunnel, and see the 6 fuses here. Remove fuse from the front\lower
(Roger’s left) middle row, and replace it with the CIRCUIT FUSE you’re
been carrying around. Now exit this service tunnel.
Try to go back to the Transporter Room, but the blob will stop you. Just
click on the Transporter door, to jump over the blob. Beatrice has been
waiting for you - tell her to teleport to safety first. Now grab SPIKE
from his HabiTube. Stand on the transporter pad, and command it to
Energize.
​
​
​
THE GOLIATH
​
You and your entire crew have teleported back to the Goliath. Thanks
to Cliffy, the deadly virus is no more.
Now sit back, and enjoy the ending. Well done Roger.
