SUSPENDED
|
||
|
||
THE STORY IS QUITE SIMPLE. YOU ARE THE FAILSAFE DEVICE TO PROTECT THE SURFACE
|
||
WORLD OF CONTRA SHOULD ANY EMERGENCY DEVOLOP THAT WOULD CAUSE THE PLANET CONTROL
|
||
DEVICES TO FAIL(THESE ARE UNDERGROUND IN A COMPLEX WHERE YOU LIVE SUSPENDED IN A
|
||
CRYOGENIC TUBE AWAITING A DISASTER). YOU ARE AWAKENED TO FIND THAT THERE HAS
|
||
BEEN AN EARTHQUAKE THAT HAS DAMAGED THE CABLES IN THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY
|
||
CHANNEL.
|
||
|
||
YOU HAVE SIX DIFFERENT ROBOTS AT YOUR COMMAND. THESE ROBOTS ALL ENJOY DIFFERENT
|
||
SKILLS AND ABILITIES. EACH ONE REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT SENSE.
|
||
|
||
* IRIS: THE SENSE OF SIGHT
|
||
# WALDO:THE SENSE OF TOUCH AND DEXTERITY
|
||
* SENSA:PERCEIVES THINGS MAGNETIC AND ELECTRONIC
|
||
# POET:PERCEIVES THINGS ELECTRONIC..CAN DIAGNOSE ELECTRICAL FLOWS
|
||
* WHIZ: COMMANDS THE COMPUTER AND CAN DO ERRANDS
|
||
# AUDA: THE SENSE OF HEARING
|
||
|
||
THE TRICK TO WINNING SUSPENDED IS ASSIGNING THE RIGHT TASK TO THE RIGHT ROBOT.
|
||
ALSO THE RIGHT ROBOT HAS TO BE AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. THIS IS
|
||
CALLED CRITICAL PATH PLANNING. AND THIS IS THE SECRET OF SUSPENDED.
|
||
|
||
IN THE STANDARD GAME THERE ARE A FEW REAL TIME EVENTS TO BE AWARE OF:
|
||
|
||
1) AT THE 15TH CYCLE THERE IS ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE WHICH CAUSES AN ACID SPILL THAT
|
||
KILLS IN SHORT ORDER ANY ROBOT THAT PASSES THROUGH THE CAVERNOUS ROOM
|
||
THEREAFTER...UNTIL THE ACID IS SHUT OFF.
|
||
|
||
2) AT THE 75TH CYCLE THERE IS ANOTHER QUAKE WHICH WRECKS THE HYDROPONICS AND
|
||
TRANSIT EQUIPMENT ON THE SURFACE ABOVE. THESE HAVE TO BE FIXXED QUICKLY OR
|
||
THE GAME ENDS SWIFTLY DUE TO THE STARVING POPULOUS ABOVE.
|
||
|
||
3) AT THE 100TH CYCLE HUMANS ENTER THE COMPLEX WITH THE INTENT OF TURNING YOU
|
||
OFF BECAUSE BY THIS TIME YOUR CLEARLY SCREWING UP THE ASSIGNMENT. THESE
|
||
HUMANS CAN BE THE DEATH OF YOU OR THEY CAN HELP YOU BY ....WELL I WON'T TELL
|
||
YOU YET.
|
||
|
||
THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS GET YOU THROUGH THE GAME IN LESS THAN 70 MOVES. AS A
|
||
RESULT THEY GIVE LITTLE AID IN THE EVENT THAT YOU FINISH THE GAME IN MORE THAN
|
||
THAT TIME. THE GAME CHANGES CONSIDERABLY AFTER THE 75TH MOVE.
|
||
|
||
THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS THAT SURFACE AFTER THAT TIME...WHICH THESE CLUES DO
|
||
NOTHING TO AID.
|
||
|
||
LETS GET STARTED..
|
||
|
||
#1 POET,GO TO WEATHER CONTROL
|
||
#2 SENSA,GO TO SUB SUPPLY ROOM
|
||
#3 WHIZ,GO TO SECONDARY CHANNEL
|
||
#4 SENSA,TAKE RAMP
|
||
#5 SENSA,GO WEST
|
||
#6 SENSA,TAKE CONTAINER AND GRASPER
|
||
#7 SENSA,GO TO HALLWAY JUNCTION
|
||
#8 WALDO,GO TO HALLWAY JUNCTION
|
||
#9 AUDA,GO TO GAMMA REPAIR
|
||
|
||
THE ABOVE MOVES SET THE GAME UP. POET IS NEEDED TO TURN THE WEATHER CONTROL
|
||
OFF..THIS MINIMIZES DEATHS AT THE SURFACE...YOUR PRIMARY GOAL. SENSA GETS THE
|
||
RAMP THAT IS NEEDED TO ALLOW THE ROBOTS TO GO FROM ONE LEVEL TO ANOTHER. AUDA IS
|
||
SENT TO THE GAMMA REPAIR AREA BECAUSE SHE WILL BE NEEDED LATER...AND WITHOUT THE
|
||
HUMANS COMING FOR A WHILE THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE WITH HER ANYWAY.
|
||
WALDO, IS SENT TO THE HALLWAY JUNCTION TO MEET SENSA AND TAKE THE CONTAINER AND
|
||
GRASPER ON HIS WAY TO FIXING IRIS WHO IS REPORTED TO BE OUT OF ORDER.
|
||
|
||
#10 POET,TURN SECOND DIAL TO 100
|
||
#11 POET,GO TO HALLWAY END
|
||
#12 IRIS,GO TO MAIN SUPPLY ROOM
|
||
#13 SENSA,PUT RAMP AT DROPOFF
|
||
#14 AUDA, LISTEN
|
||
#15 WALDO,TAKE CONTAINER AND GRASPER
|
||
#16 WALDO,GO TO MAIN SUPPLY
|
||
#17 WALDO,INSTALL GRASPER
|
||
#18 WALDO,TAKE RED IC AND YELLOW IC
|
||
#19 SENSA,GO NORTH
|
||
#20 SENSA,TAKE RAMP
|
||
|
||
ONCE POET GOT TO THE WEATHER CONTROL, HE HAD TO RESET THE FAULTY CONTROL TO 100.
|
||
THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX BECAUSE IF YOU LET THE GAME GO ON TOO LONG, ALL
|
||
HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE WITH VARIOUS DISASTERS AND ACCIDENTS OCCURING WHICH YOU
|
||
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL. POET IS THEN SENT TO THE HALLWAY END WHERE HE WILL
|
||
BE USED TO GET THE TV CAMERA NEEDED LATER.
|
||
|
||
IRIS IS SENT TO THE MAIN SUPPLY ROOM WHERE SHE CAN BE FIXED WHEN WALDO ARRIVES.
|
||
SHE WILL ALSO HELP WALDO REPAIR THE MACHINE THERE.
|
||
|
||
SENSA...UPON ARRIVING PUTS THE RAMP IN PLACE SO THAT AUDA CAN GET TO GAMMA
|
||
REPAIR AND SO THAT SHE AND POET CAN GET TO THE OTHER LEVEL. WALDO IS HANDED THE
|
||
GRASPER AND CONTAINER WHICH HE INSTALLS. THIS IS DONE NOW TO SAVE MOVES LATER.
|
||
|
||
#21 SENSA,GO TO SMALL SUPPLY
|
||
#22 WALDO,OPEN PANEL
|
||
#23 WALDO,REPLACE ROUGH DEVICE WITH ROUGH OBJECT

|
||
#29 POET,TAKE CAMERA
|
||
#30 SENSA,PUT RAMP AT HOLDER
|
||
|
||
THIS STAGE SETS THE ROBOTS TO THEIR MAJOR GATHERING TASKS. WALDO HAS FIXED IRIS,
|
||
AND IS NOW SET ON FIXING THE MACHINE AND SALVAGING ITS PARTS. POET HAS ARRIVED
|
||
AT THE HALLWAY END , GOTTEN IN THE CAR, EXITED THE CAR AND IS NOW GETTING THE
|
||
CAMERA. AND SENSA HAS ARRIVED AT THE SMALL SUPPLY ROOM TO TAKE THE CABLE CUTTER.

POET HAS BEEN SENT TO USE THE CAMERA IN THE PRIMARY CHANNEL (THIS IS A KAMIKAZE
|
||
MISSION BECAUSE HE HAS TO PASS THROUGH THE CAVERNOUS ROOM TO GET THERE). SENSA
|
||
HAS GOTTEN TO THE SLOPING CORRIDOR AND REINSTALLED THE RAMP SO THAT SHE AND POET
|
||
CAN GET TO THE LOWER LEVEL. AND WALDO AND IRIS HAVE GOTTEN THE MACHINE FIXED AND
|
||
SALVAGE ONE OF THE TWO NEEDED CABLES TO SET THE FCS IN BALANCE.

|

|
||
CAMERA IN THE PRIMARY CHANNEL AFTER HAVING CORROSIVE ACID SPILLED ON HIM. AND
|
