[comp.sys.mac] Colony Question

glassner@arisia.Xerox.COM (Andrew Glassner) (01/06/89)

I have a question about the game Colony.
THE FOLLOWING TEXT INCLUDES A SPOILER!

I have finished the game, but I suspect that I have not completely won.  
I got 5 children on board and blew up the planet, but the message I got 
expressed understanding that I left some children behind.  Are there more?
I found (and took with me when I left):

   Asher Alexander, found in Security (Level 1)
   Jes Lee, found in Mazerium (Level 4)
   Tammy Radmer, found at end of corridor down Lab 1 (Level 4)
   Terry Radmer, found in central 3-by-3 room (Level 5)
   Rachel Ericksen, found at end of U-turn in corridor (Level 6)

Am I missing someone?  I suspect from one of the notes that I found
lying around that there's someone named "Eric", but I'm not sure
if that's an adult or child...

Thanks!

When I first saw postings from people who were having problems with Colony
and hadn't even left the ship, I had a good laugh.....
....then I finally broke down and bought a copy of it and learned how        
frustating it really is.  I had two freinds working on it and they haven't 
been able to get any farther either.  Yes, we all have reasonable adventure
time under our belts but this one is different. 

We are still in the ship(Oh the shame of it all), and can't seem to get the 
ship or the suit to generate or collect power (other than from myself). Of
course, we can't go outside because of the low levels and yes, the reactor
has been activated.  HELP!!! Is there any way to actually read the reactor
manual? Do the small circles in all the corners do anything? Any and all 
help will be greatly appreciated.

Please help so that I can get back to work!!
