INSTRUCTIONS
After his adventures in NODES OF YESOD, Charlemagne
Fotheringham-Grunes is once again called upon to save mankind.
At the end of NODES, the alien Monolith teleported off the Moon
back to its homeworld of Ariat. Charlie has followed it there and
must destroy it before the hostile Arians download the sensitive
information on Earth which it has collected.
Charlie must traverse the caverns below Ariat to reach the
Security Centre where the Monolith is being examined. Arriving
on the surface, he must find a convenient manhole down which to
enter the caverns. A teleport system exists within the labyrinth,
and Charlie can zap between locations by stepping into one of the
various transporters.
Apart from the usual static obstacles, there are also a wide
variety of strange alien creatures to hinder you. Contact isn't
immediately fatal but it does drain your life energy which, if
drained completely, will lead to the loss of one of your four
lives. In the meantime, Charlie must search for eight crystals
before he can have a go at the Monolith.
Charlie has a useful ally in the form of a Sphere, or Electronic
Mole, which is released from his backpack and can be controlled
by you (although Charlie has to remain immobile while you do
this). The Sphere can get rid of the aliens by ramming them. It
can also open concealed secret passages by bumping into the
masonry covering them. Charlie himself is armed with a limited
supply of Smart Bombs which wipe out all the aliens on screen
when detonated.
