Welllllllll, now that I got Awesome to work with my Ami, I'm stuck. I always get stuck en route to the planet Follas, when I happen upon that "unidentified objects ahead" part. I drop out of warp and there's a circle of bombs around which spell instant death on touch, and there's rocks and real strong dudes floating around. The bombs are in a perfect circle, and are grey colored. Some questions: 1) Can I break thru em without dying?? 2) Should I use spherical bombs, or would a flame thrower help? 3) Is there even anything important on Follas? Any hintz/trix/spoilers? :-) would be appreciated. Awesome is a really suave game...the music is slammin!!

Have yet to find a use for either that mortars or something else are better for. > 3) Is there even anything important on Follas? You've got to wonder why it's there. Also, if you ever get to the space station, and get the wierd weapon, (or anyoneelse), tell me what the heck it's used for! **************************************************************************** * Dan Hartman - This box intentionally left blank. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ****************************************************************************

Actually, I suppose I should mention a few other things also. First, there does seem to be a definite order in which to travel through the system, and it seems each planet should only be visited once. By an amazing coincidence, it appears that is the order of the planets in the system. I have found little use for most of the weapons availible other than the mortar (cannon, balls, can't remember name) and the sonic mining laser. Others are also good (pulse laser, peripheral guns) but not worth it (of course, I've only got about 1/3-1/2 way through the game) Notice: Prices for weapons vary CONSIDERABLY! You may find stuff cheaper later on, when you need it. Other than that, the best combat strategy seems to be run backwards at full speed and shoot them one by one (in space). For the space serpents, go to the opposite corner that they exited the screen if you value your shields. If the serpent fires, you have to go in the MIDDLE of the diamond of fire to survive! And, of course, never kill the boss on the ground, run through him. Dan Hartman
