The adventure begins with
Roger Wilco standing outside the escape pod. Notice the object
lying next to that large plug. Go south then
continue east. Get on the conveyer going up. When you reach the top
stand up and then jump to the rail. Walk west until you reach the
grabber. Climb down into the grabber and move it so that you are
just above where you began the adventure. Push the claw button. If
you are in the correct position the claw will pick up the warp motivator.
If not, keep trying untill you get it right. Now position the grabber
so that you are just above a small space ship. Push the button so
that the claw will drop the warp motivator into its correct place.
Return to where you got in the grabber. Get out and fall down the
chute. Walk left and get the reactor out the hole. Exit by the ladder
and go north. Then east through a sort of tunnel. When you have finished
removing pieces of fur from your mouth, return to the place where
you first go the reactor. Just go down the ladder instead of going
all the way round. Retrieve the reactor again, climb the ladder but
this time take the ladder aswell and return to the tunnel where the
rat attacked you. Get the piece of wire hanging there and continue
east. Climb through the broken eye down to the space ship. Use the
ladder to get on top of the space ship. Enter it through the hatch.
Inside, place the reactor in its original place and use the wire
to connect it properly. Look at the computer to the left. Everything
okay? Enter the cockpit. Search your seat and get the buckazoids.
Now look at the cockpit’s computer. Always keep the RADAR on (7).
Start the engines (1). Takeoff (3). When the radar gives you a warning
signal select weapons (8) and press space bar to fire. Look at the
computer again. Now select navigation (2). Scan the map until you
get the planet Phleebhut. Press button (3) to choose this planet/sector
to go to. Once you have landed there, exit your space ship and find
your way to "World ‘o Wonders". Enter the shop and trade
your gem for 425 buckazoids. Then buy everything you can ie. the
orat, the hat and the thermo underwear. Exit the shop. Once you have
met the terminator don’t hesitate and go directly east and enter
the elevator to the west through the doorway in the leg of the huge
monster. Go up and then up the stairs.

Position yourself behind the pulley at the rear and face west. When
the terminator comes for you push the pulley. Wham! You knock it
off its feet into that machine where it gets chomped. Go down the
stairs and get the invisibility belt that fortunately didn’t get
chomped. Go down the elevator with Fester and return to your ship.
Leave the planet and go to the Monolith Burger. Inside the Monolith
Burger, go west to the empty counter. Look at the menu and order
the fun meal valued at 7 buckazoids. Sit down and eat it. Get your
decoder ring. Now play the arcade game Astro Chicken. Play until
you receive a strange message. Use your decoder ring to decipher
it. The message reads:

Help us. We are being held captive by Scumsoft on the small moon
on Pestulon. An impenetrable force field surrounds the moon. It must
first be deactivated. It’s origin is unknown to us. Scumsoft security
is armed with jello pistols. We’re counting on you whoever you are.

Two guys in trouble.

Exit the Monolith Burger and go to the planet Ortega. Once there
wear your theremo underwear before exiting the space ship. Go west
then south and remain hidden until the scum soft pirates takeoff
in there spaceship. Look through the telescope. Get the pole from
the anemometer and a detonator out the crate. Go east until reach
the building at the top. Enter the building through the east side.
Go down the stairs and find your way to the ladder on the rear wall.
Climb the ladder. Go to the edge of the hole and drop the detonator
down it. Exit the building and return to your ship. On the way there
you will come to the place that was very unstable when you crossed
over it, has now vanished. Use the pole to jump over the chasm. Enter
your ship and takeoff to the moon Pestulon. Once you have landed
there, wear your invisibility belt then exit your space ship and
go in any direction. Use the belt and enter the Scum Soft building
undetected. Push the button on the left and enter the building. Walk
around till you find the janitorial closet. It’s the door on the
left-hand side after the security check door. Enter the closet and
get the coveralls. Wear them. Now enter the doorway to the maze of
offices. Use the vaporizer in your coveralls to clean the trash bins
whenever you are about to pass one. Go west and get the Picture of
Elmo Pug off the wall and make a photocopy of it, then return it
to the wall. Now find your way through the maze to Elmo Pug’s office.
When you reach Elmo Pug’s office, go behind it through the passageway
to the right. Notice your spaceship and then return to Elmo Pug’s
office. Get the keycard off his desk and return through the maze
of offices and exit. Now go to the security check door. Insert the
keycard. Then use the picture of Elmo Pug for scanning. Enter the
building. Push the button on the panel to the left. Go to the two
guys and use your vaporizer. When you are fighting with Elmo in the
ring using robots, get him corned in the right-hand side and continue
hitting him until his energy runs out.

When you are in your spaceship push the attack speed button (6)
to get you ship moving. You will be attacked by those small ship
you saw earlier. When the radar reports what direction they are coming,
use the shield to protect your ship ie. (F) front (B) back. You have
to shoot +-5 enemy ships in a row. Once you have done that, stick
around for the end of the game show.
