Aquanaut 471 Hints for the arcade games DOCKING ARCADE GAME (Failure will take you back to "On the Surface") The objective is to move the small wedge shaped object (your submarine) on to the flashing platform whilst avoiding all other objects. The flashing platform is on the bottom of the play area, and about a third of the way in from the right hand edge. If you are playing in black and white (i.e., without artifacts) the platform will look like eight short vertical bars that move left and right. UPPER SECURITY AREA ARCADE GAME (Three failed attempts will take you back to "Undersea Dock") The objective is to move your little man from the bottom to the top platform whilst avoiding all other moving objects (the robot guards). The hardest part is reaching the middle platform in safety. To do so, first stay out of harm's way on the rightmost platform on the second level until a space allows you to move up to the middle platform. On reaching the middle platform move one block to the right, allow the robot to the left to move down the gap then move to the left to avoid the robot approaching from the right. After that robot has dropped down move to the right and go up to reach the fourth level. On the fourth level stay in one of the safe end platforms until a large enough space allows you to move up to the top platform - success! LOWER SECURITY AREA ARCADE GAME (Three failed attempts will take you back to the "Lounge") The objective is the same as for the upper security area arcade game, but this time the robots move more quickly and with a slightly different pattern. Again, the hardest part is reaching the middle platform in safety. As before stay out of harm's way on the rightmost platform on the second level. This time wait until a robot is moving leftwards on the platform above the player's character then start moving to the left but stop one block to the right of the gap. Let the robot drop, move left to the block left of the gap and let the next robot drop. Now move up through the gap, and up again to the left hand safe platform on the fourth level. Wait here until a large enough space appears that will give you time to reach the top platform. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by Alastair for the Classic Adventure Solution Archive (CASA) http://solutionarchive.com/
