Subject: Re: I need some help with COLONY (WARNING: SPOILERS!)
In-reply-to: your article <4381@phoenix.Princeton.EDU>
I need some help with where I've gotten in my game of COLONY. I'd appreciate
your help.
Currently, I've found the forklift. I've found the special chute to go from
level 5 to the bottom of the 3 sub-basements. I've found the COlony's reactor
core one (unfortunenately, I haven't made any maps so as to get to it again).
I've found about 6 children's cryogenic chambers. I've gotten one of them up
to level 1 (using the forklift) and I was thinking of trying to get it back
to the ship, this way I can teleport the children from various points in the
colony back to my ship. However, I can't get the forlift over the step
needed to leave the colony. (I'm also not sure how well the slow-moving
forklift can withstand enemy fire once I'm moving across the open plains.)
Also, how can I get over the pit traps in front of the colony's nuclear reactor
if that's where I'm to get fuel for my ship. I can't FLY over the pits.
What should I do. Please don't give me ALL the clues (YET). Just guidance
to get me started again, I'm stalled.
Thanks.
