Wow, cool!

I remember playing this game as a young boy, and i never got along with it's controls. May be I will now. It's kind of a complex, it' s the only game i never beated the first enemy!

how do you get across the first swamp hole... the one where you sink?

hi just got started with the game.. its pretty cool..

quickie guide how to get started (what I went through). The version for download just plain sucks... I found a much better one metal.zip elsewhere, and also metmut.zip... these fixed that very very slow animation problem and dont have that stupid Joker reference.

F1 F2 F3 to change robots
shift+up, pgup, right, pgdwn, down, end, left, home
does function, depending on robot time.

ex: shift+right with dino does head a bite.

first enemy - tank bullets or cybork claw
green lizards - 2-3 dino bites works well
flying lizard - cyborg blade works good.. just get too close so they cant attack.
enemy tanks - use tank bullets...
bee hives - tank bullets aimed up.. dino fire breath for the wasps.

now im stuck at what seems to be the end of the swamp, where its two level, and there is enemy tank patroling at the top, and a eye/door thingie at bottom that only shoots once you start attacking it.

yay.. i made a lot of progress..
got to the elevator
went through level1 through the caves and got the bug thing
went through level2 and level3 and got the shields
went through level4 and opened the door to level0 left
level0 left and big BAD tall cyborg dude goes down the hole thanks to the little bee thingie from dyno.

but, now when need to enter word 4 on line 4 or similar, I cant continue.. I used the codes provided in this forum thread, it asks me to confirm but nothing happens after that.

maybe I dont have the full version
???

How did you defeat the fish-thingy in the swamp? When I was playing, I couldn't get past that point.

regarding your :sos:

the fish swiming back and forth, you have to jump on it as cyborg as its moving away.. then, when you get near the platform jump off.

other places could get stuck:
there is a big hole swamp, where you have to walk in until almost head is submerged as cyborg, and jump across.

bees:
use dyno fire breath on them, and shoot them as tank

quicksand:
dont worry the gap is too big to jump across, jump in, and as you start siniking use cyborg grappling hook.

hover robots going back and forth (after fish):
shoot in tank mode when they have their back turned.. the one at the end of the top platform, is luck of the draw.. might have to reaload save game several times to get it right before he shoots missle at you

eye on bottom platform:
once you get that "piece" you can shoot missle in tank mode.

big saw robots:
forget about tank, you need to use cyborg axe or fork. usually takes 6-8 hits.

mohawk robot:
before you go to elevator there is computer terminal where you get "radar" update for tank. use it WHEN IN ELEVATOR, to find out where mohawk robot dude is to avoid him.

caves:
level 1 on elevator, jump past lasers, shoot open the eye thingie, and use grappling hook to get up into caves. I used dyno bite and tail fire (while walking backwards) to take care of the spiders. For the bats you can use diny breath or cyborg axe. There are also missle thingies which you need to shoot with tank or use tank missle. At first intersection dont take the top path.. its just endless stream of spiders. At the end there is rocks blocking path.. blast them with tank missle, take care of bats, and you're home free.. there is savepoint soon ahead.

the laser door:
level 3 has that crazy lazer beams going left/right. Use your new dyno bee to fly between lasers and hit the switch to open door. Thereafterwards you get dyno shields

flying boots:
on 4th level, jump into that boot, and press fire (shift) rapidly while steering right. If you press shift too quickly you will rise too fast into lasers above. If too slowly, you will fall into lasers below. On following screens, use grappling hook, and tank mode to take care of the flying thingies. At the end you have to open the "stomac" room, or something like that. Also make sure teleporter is on.

level0:
ok you got alls the gear, so head on to level0 and go LEFT. immediately activate dino shields, activate dino bee, and fly it to the switch.. now just sit back and wait about a minute.

Is there a comprehensive FAQ for this game anywhere? The above post is the closest I've seen.

once you enter the right word on level 0, after taking out the boomerang throwing mohawk robot, you gain access to subterenean. its like a factory or something.

zombies: use cybork blade or fork

watchout for fire pits.. jump over them

there is a section where there is switch in upper left corner of screen.. fly the dino bee there and you will get the psyco wave ability for dino.

flying space ships that shoot psycho waves.. shoot psycho waves back!! you need to shoot them quickly though.

ok you eventually get to a save point.. hooray! Well, not really.. hard stuff coming up.

low rocket launcher: walk cybork forward jump.. switch to dino just as it fires next missle, and bite.
done correctly, 0 damage.

next room you need to get onto the flip in the middle and get the switch with dino bee.

when you get compacted and are a tiny can, just walk continuously back and forth to get minimal damage.

ok you got to the "elevators" (level 1, 3, 2, and say no to all 3 to continue on level0)

on level 1, there is a mean gravedigger.. cyborg blade him. The whip robot.. get in real close and cyborg blade or fork. It takes 12 or so hits. Most importantly, when shoved back, move back in, and continue hacking.. when you're done you will have very little health.. I haven't figured out better way.

on all the levels there are various other monsters, and all these valves.. haven't figures out which to turn on/off... the one at the end of level1 makes you explode!

oK, after many many tries, I finally made it through the pipes.
Start on level1 and take out the grave digger (cyborg blade) and whip robot (cyborg blade). Hopefully you still have half your health left!

leave all the level1 gates as they are for now.
go back to basement and go to level 3. take out the gravedigger and the flying shark. close the first valve, open the second.

go back to basement and go to level 2. take out the gravedigger. close both the first and second valve.

go back to basement, take out that flying psycho saucer with dino psycho eye, and open first valve, and close second.

now go back to level1 and close the first, and open the second.

here is gates initial setup:
3 O C
2 C O
1 C C
0 C O

and here is what you need:
3 C O
2 C C
1 C O
0 O C

make sure to close both level2 valves, and the first level1 valve before opening any others!!

next screen you have to fly your dino bee through the pipework (in the blind) to get to opposite end and flip the switch. having headphones to hear the bee hit a wall helps immensely.

a few more flying sharks, and you're at the teleporter and the new "purple world". Your health is probably virutally 0 so its good there is a save point here.

Some "yoga" sends you on quest through 5 pyramids.
The music one is tought, even with headphones. Not sure if the melodies are random, but here are the ones I've come across so far:
2 5 7 6 7, 6 7 6 2 6, 4 2 5 7 1 and 7 6 4 4 6
teleporter guardian robot with axe is easy.. just get in and cyborg blade it 4-5 times.

2nd pyramid you get on teleporter and a mirror image of you shows up. I used dyno bite. it worked well. DONT try tank missle.. you will blow BOTH yourself up. The teleporter guardian here causes lots of damage. get in quick and dyno bite or cyborg blade it.

Now, I'm stuck in the 3rd pyramid. Yoga asks if I like termiites... hmmm... never really tasted them, but I hate that giant bug.

we're both stuck in the same spot now.. I think we are the further into the game of anybody ;)

The sound fades in and out and its pretty poor.. perhaps my system is too weak: I'm running this game with Athlon64 @2.5Ghz and 2GB of Windbond BH5 @ 240Mh 2-2-2-5. I thinks it a little overkill for this game ;)
