Aliens Hints

                    from Richard Hewison

To survive the first section of ALIENS: A Comic Book Adventure

Firstly, go and speak to your Commanding Officer, Williams. He
will ask you to get some landing co-ordinates from the main
computer, MOM.

You can try leaving the bridge, but the EXIT won't open. Go down
the steps and use the door controls found next to the Video CD
player on the MOM control desk. Now go back up and open the EXIT.

Open the fourth (last) door down the corridor. Enter the room.
Open the overhead cupboard and take the yellow pass. Also open the
desk drawer and take the Raw (blank) CD. Return to the Bridge.

Visit MOM and use the yellow pass. Now ask her about the status of
the ship, and in particular - the sensors. She will ask you to
insert a blank unformatted CD so she can download the landing
co-ordinates that will lead the ship to the source of the SOS
signal. Insert the Raw (blank) CD. MOM will format it and download
the data. Now take this CD to Williams.

Give Williams the CD (go to the Status screen and drag the CD to
William's face). Now speak to him. The ship will now descend into
the planet's atmosphere and land.

Unfortunately, if you have version 1.01 then you won't be able to
get much further than this because the game will lock up at this
point and not let you go any further! There is a fix available
from the publishers (Mindscape) but I've not yet found out if this
is a floppy disk patch or a whole new CD#1.
