==================================================
It's important to finish this game before 8 PM, or else the aliens
will invade and the game is over. To check the time, just type
TIME. You can also type WAIT to advance time faster. Also, you
must LOOK at objects in the place they are found for a complete
description.
For this walkthrough, just type the commands between " "
=================================================
Enter your house by going "N";
Go "N" again and "WATCH TV" to find out about Dr. Larry Lunar;
Go "S" then "W". Answer your mom by saying "I'M FINE"; (the
apostrophe is important)
When she talks again, "ASK MONEY";
She will give you 2 dollars. "GET MONEY" and leave to "E";
Go "U" then "E" to your parent's bedroom;
"GET CREDIT CARD" that's lying around;
"W", "D" (no need to go to your bedroom yet);
"S" and go to the park at "S" again;
"E"
"DIG SAND" to find an CIA I.D. card. "GET CARD"
(You may DRINK WATER but it's not necessary)

Don't buy the snacks yet or else the man will steal some of your
change;

until later in the game.
"E", "GET BRIEFCASE", "LOOK BRIEFCASE" (You notice a small
latch)
"PULL LATCH" to disarm the bomb and open the briefcase. Inside
you find a word: NUKE.
"S" "GET LIBRARY CARD" then exit the building by "N", "W",
S",
S";
It's a good time to check the current "TIME". The Library is
open until 4pm, so it's a good idea to check it out. Go "E", "E",
"S", "S", "S", "E";
"SHOW CARD" to the librarian. Go "N" to learn about burglary
("READ BOOK"), then go "S" twice to learn about hacking ("READ
BOOK", "TURN PAGE");
Leave the Library by going "N" then "W".
Now let's go to your bedroom. Go "N" four times, then "U"and
"W";
"INSTALL MODEM" to your Apple computer, then "DIAL 555-1212".
You connect to the Sattelite Tracing System. Use the password
the salesman gave you, "TYPE ECLIPSE"; then do an "OUTBOUND
SCAN" and write down the coded message. "LOG OFF" and go back
to the street - "E", "D", "S";
Now we must go to the NASA building. "W", "W", "S", S".
Enter it by going "W". In the hallway, go "S".
"LOOK SIGN" AH, that's the doctor they mentioned on the TV… "LOOK
PAPERS" to find out more abour decoding;
Now go "N"and "W" to the briefing room. "MOVE PAPERS"and you'll
find a floppy disk.
"GET DISK", "LOOK DISK" Hm.. might be important;
Go "E" and "N". This locked door should be no problem now that
you've learned the burglar techniques. "PICK LOCK" then
"INSERT CARD";
Enter the intercepted message you got earlier. To decode it ,
"PUSH D3". You learn that the aliens will invade today at 8 PM.
"LOG OFF" and "OPEN DOOR"
Oh no! You were abducted by the evil aliens!
"PICK LOCK" then "WEAR MASK"
Go "E", and "GIVE MUNCHIES" to the alien. He will give you the
key.
"GET KEY" and go "S".
The alien computer, War Games simulation substation. "TYPE
JOSHUA" to get access -- remember the movie War Games? ;-) --
and take note of the displayed coordinates.
Now to the landing bay. "N", "W", "N". There's a locked cargo
carrier that you may open using the key. "UNLOCK CARRIER", then
"GET PASS".
Go "N" inside the fighter ship. Now you must learn the correct
launch sequence to escape. It's a trial and error situation, but
"PUSH SH", "PULL ES", "PULL EP", "PUSH LS" and "PUSH
EC" will
get you out.
Now the mothership shoots at you (You may try to fight back but
it's no use. In case you're curious, "PUSH WS" then "PUSH FL"
to fire laser.)
"PUSH EP" to escape back to Earth.
Let's check the contents of that floppy disk you got at Nasa.
"W", "N", U", "W";
"INSERT DISK". It's password protected, but the word we found
in the briefcase might help. "TYPE NUKE". You get several codes.
Write them down.
Now it's back to the street.The only building we have not entered
is the White House. It's heavily guarded, so we need a pass to
enter. Fortunately, we have one. So follow "E", "D", "S",
"W",
W", "S".
"TALK GUARD". "SHOW PASS". "W"
If you go upstairs you will meet the president, but he won't
believe you about the alien invasion and will get you out and
confiscate your pass, so we have to fight the aliens ourselves.
Go "N".
There are two butons. "PUSH RIGHT", then "TURN DIAL" of the
electric device to open the door. "N";
"TYPE GWH50" to get access to the White House system.
When you "TYPE CIA", "TYPE WHITE HOUSE" or ""TYPE NASA", you will
get access to floorplans of the corresponding buildings.
Notice that in the CIA floorplan there's an extra secret room
we didn't find before, with a circular shape next to it. So let's
get back there to investigate!
"S", "S", "E", "N", N", "SHOW CARD",
"N", "E"
This poster looks odd - maybe there's something hidden in it,
like a button?
"PRESS LETTERS" - which letters?
"PRESS OUR"
A secret passage! Quick, go "E".
The CIA Secret missile computer… Now, to have access to it, we
follow the guidelines we've learned in the Library. The code must
be GCI plus two digits. Try 80… "TYPE GCI80"
It works! Now, use the words you find in that floppy disk for
the launch sequence.
"TYPE DELTA", "TYPE NINE", "TYPE CHARLEY";
For the Warhead arming sequence:
"TYPE BAKER", "TYPE SEVEN", "TYPE ABLE";
And for the coordinates, "TYPE 70-210-140";
Now we just have to wait for the correct launch time.
Wait until 8:0 PM using the comands "TIME" and "WAIT", and then
"PUSH BUTTON" to kill those nasty intruders.
Watch the final animation and enjoy the music!
Congratulations, you did it!!! The Earth is saved!!! :)))
