I seem to have come to an impasse in the Colony - - how far have you people gotten? I have found the forklift, the reactor room, and the cyrogenic chambers. My problem is this: How does one get anything out of the Colony and back to your ship when the forklift is unable to climb stairs? As far as I know, there's only one way out: the main airlock, and the elevators don't go up there. Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Any help greatly appreciated!!! I seem to remember something about some maps being available for the Colony, but I never found out where.

Check back over the last twelve months. I'm pretty sure you'll find them there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | joe houghtaling | "In my opinion television | computer science dept.| | jh0576@leah.albany.edu | validates existence." | suny at albany | | | -calvin | albany, ny 12222 usa | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi! This is my first posting to this group, but I have enjoyed reading it for quite some time. I bought The Colony about 3 months ago and I am buffaloed. Can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction????? ARRRG! Also...does anyone out there know of any good TRON games for the mac? I wonder if anyone has or could write a TRON game similar to Colony? Thanks all, Bob cappel@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu

I need help in The Colony (which Egghead Discount centers have for $9). Some spoilers are in the questions, so if you haven't gotten to level 5 yet, don't read any further. I've killed the queens on levels 1-5. I then went back to the ship and boosted my armor and weapons to full power, came back, and cleaned up everything except the queen in the reactor room. 1) Is the Level 8 queen invicible at my level? I just blast away at her at close range and nothing seems to happen. She shoots me a few times, and I get terminated. 2) Is it possible for my suit to draw power from the reactor? Am I dying because I don't have enough weapons and armor power for the top level, and therefore have my lifeforce sucked out? 3) Do I have to kill the level 8 queen in order to eliminate totally all of the non-egg aliens, so that I can get into the (unarmed) forklift and get the reactor core without being sucked dry? 4) are the boxes merely for dropping into the holes in level 7 so that the forklift can go over them (my guess)? Can I drop boxes into the holes at other levels to make a walking surface? Am I missing something because I haven't used the forklift to clear a path to some other place on level 5? 5) Is there any way out of the dimensional traps (e.g. the monolith room)? 6) Am I missing something basic?
