Notes

John Millward, thanked in the credits section of the game manual, is the person who came with the name of the game. He was not involved in any other way in the game development. He actually was the winner of a competition to determine the name of the game, held in ACE magazine. The results were announced in ACE magazine issue 37.

When you land go and pick up the message from Ratt on Butre, then return to the Swan and then land again. There will be another message from Ratt. Pick this up as well. Repeat this 88 times (!) and put all the messages in the backpacks, and when they are full, carry them in the hands and one on the cursor, enter a base and find a shop. You can sell all the messages and get about 18,500 credits.

 

In the earlier stages, brute force is your best friend. It’s a good idea to trade your droids’ experience points for brawling skills and simply clobber all the opposition.
