SoftSide Adventure of the Month #2
Alien Adventure
By Alan J Zett
Published by SoftSide Publications, July 1981
For Atari 400/800/XL/XE (same or very similar for Apple II and TRS-80)

Solution by Garry Francis
----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution at the advanced skill level. The skill level affects how many moves of
oxygen you get (oxygen = 80 x level) and how soon the alien arrives (arrival move = 120 x level).
Try to solve it at the easy skill level first, then try it at the advanced skill level, which is
much harder because of the time restrictions. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things for this
solution to make sense. Scores are given in brackets as A/B, where A = points awarded, B =
cumulative points awarded. Maximum score is 100 points.
