Herobotix

Scenario

The Alliance of Space Pilots - an anarchic organization which roams space, ransacking remote colony planets and hijacking travellers - have raided an interplanetary weapons development laboratory, capturing the Z RAY PARTICLE ACCELERATOR which could reduce a whole planet to dust.

Some members of the organization are against this move and have broken away, determined to destroy the deadly machine. Their plan is to send a droid to the ASP’s base with the aim of logging onto the main computer thus gaining information concerning the location of the Z RAY. So a class IV droid nicknamed ‘Herobot’ has boarded the base in the guise of an ASP reconnaissance droid.

Playing the Game

You must collect six parts of a large particle destroyer which can be located throughout the base. You must then make your way to a room with a conspicuously large door barring an exit. Drop the gun and remove the door. This will give you access to a corridor leading to the main computer. Log onto the computer, thus downloading the vital data and make your way back to the docking bay where you will be picked up by an infiltration fighter allowing you to escape.

Controls
