I have some questions on Infestation (the 3-D Aliens game from Psygnosis): 1) Are the guardians (those big dudes shaped like pentagons with the evil eyes) as dangerous as they look? One time I happened to step upon one on Level 3 and we had a stare off for a good 5 minutes before I finally decided to cap him with around 40 shots from my pulse rifle (which sucks up the battery, I might add) 2) How do you get through the radiation zones without dying? It seems that I will be walking down a corridor and my radiation meter is silent, then suddenly the bands come together like in a matter of seconds! 3) There is a room on level 4 that has a black-and-white checkered floor with a beam of some sort dancing between each of the tiles. Is this dangerous? and if it is, is there a way I can deactivate it? 4) Why is level 4 purple? 5) What happens if you accidentally cross the laser beams on level 3? 6) After being in the complex around about 60 minutes, the screen goes black and I get the death sequence with this message: "The planet of Xelos has reached critical mass." What does this mean? You mean I only get an hour to kill all of the eggs and destroy the mother alien AND detonate the planet? (that 60 minutes is from the timer in the spacesuit's computer) 7) BTW is there really a mother alien? I know I have tons of other questions about this game. I'd like to finish it, but I'm stuck and the manual doesn't help a lot. If any one has any info on thsi please EMAIL mmoore@ux.acs.umn.edu. I would truly appreciate it.
