I play it on my Plus at home with no problems. I don't feel like duplicating
and or carrying the "decoder" to my Mac II at work.
There is one crucial hint I "stumbled" upon while exploring the
5-Delta-5 colony (I won't blatantly repeat it here). If you read the
last few sentences of the first slide in the conference room it should
become clear. Once you realize this fact you will literally "clean
up", so to speak ;->
One hint I'll give is that the 5-Delta-5 colony entrance is located at the
2 o'clock position assuming your ship is pointed at 12.
I do have a question: Has anyone figured out just what that "force field"
is for in one of the rooms on the ship (there is also one room on the
first level of the colony). All it seems to do is zap your energy rather
quickly. I've run past it on the ship and there doesn't seem to be anything
of great interest in that room anyway.

I recently purchased the game: "THE COLONY" by Mindscape. I am having a problem. I fould the drawer on the upper level with the security code in it, but I don't know how to enter the code from there (plus, what will it do if I can find a way to enter the code?). On the lower level, I've tried to get into th small room in the middle of the wall opposite from the airlock security panel, but I just keep hitting a wall. How do I get in? I've tried going to the suit installer (although I haven't seen/found any space suit yet) when I try bumping into it, it stays a transparent image which I can't interract with. What can I do? I have tried to open the airlock, once I entered the proper security code, I click on the plus sign and the center of the door's iris, nothing happens. I need some hints or tips. Please send me e-mail if you can help. Thanks. Jim COllymore

We've been playing the game "The Colony" for about a month now, and are ready to give up. Has anyone solved this game? We've killed all the queens, found the forklift and pods 1-5, but are now stuck. Any hints would be appreciated. Rick Giles Bitnet: FRGILES@Acadia Internet: FRGILES%Acadia.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU UUCP: uunet!dalcs!aucs!ifocs9d

How does one get out of the Spaceship in the Macintosh game THE COLONY ? I am convinced that I have tried all possibilities, leaving me with the conclusion that I have a buggy version. (And if I posted this twice, gulp, sorry). Yuval Fisher

Spoilers follow: Well, You must first put on the power suit. You then run into the airlock console and type in the security code (match up the symbols on your decoder and enter the corresponding number). Then, run into the airlock door and open it. Walk through the door. Now run into it again and close it. (Now you are in the airlock and both doors are closed.) Now, just exit the outer door. Keep in mind that you may have only one door open in an airlock at a time. Otherwise, the exposive decompression is fatal, really ruining your day. One last hint - you'll need a trick if you want to use the teleporters to move the children to your ship... (this really isn't a spoiler since you do not need to use the teleporters to move the CHILDREN). If you need amy more help, send me mail... -- Jeffrey A.

Put the suit on. Weapons and shields on low. go through the one airlock near the console where you get the suit. CLOSE the airlock behind you. go out th other airlock. Jeff
