S P A C E Q U E S T I I I (Sierra On-Line) This is the most efficient way to complete the game. It is not the most enjoyable way to do it.....just the fastest!! NORTH is always assumed to be towards the top of your screen, SOUTH towards the bottom, East to the right and WEST to the left. Words printed within "QUOTATION MARKS" are to be typed into the computer EXACTLY as shown. THE SOLUTION After exiting your Escape Pod, go SOUTH to where the Acme Rocket ship is. Then go EAST until you find the vertical conveyor with the buckets moving upwards. Walk up as close as possible to where these buckets are. You will get scooped up by one of them and carried up to a horizontal conveyor belt. Quickly type "STAND UP" and then "JUMP". You will jump up and pull yourself up on to the rail. Walk WEST until you find yourself in a Control Room with a Robot. (If you stand around too long you will get shot!). There is a machine here called a Grabber hanging on the rail. Walk directly above the Grabber and "CLIMB DOWN". Press your left arrow key and reverse the Grabber up to the platform that extends out at the bottom of the screen (press the arrow key a second time to stop the Grabber). "EXIT GRABBER". Walk SOUTH. You will SAFELY fall through a chute which leads to a hollowed-out Cave. This is the Rat's Lair. Walk as far WEST as possible (you will almost be out of sight) and "LOOK WALL". You will find a hole with a Reactor in it. "GET REACTOR". Walk EAST and "CLIMB LADDER". After climbing out of the Rat's Lair, "GET THE LADDER". Remember this spot because you will have to come back to it later! Go NORTH and then EAST into the remains of the Space Tanker. Walk through the tunnel. One of the Rats will ambush you in the tunnel and take the Reactor away from you. You will have to go back to where you climbed up the ladder out of the Rat's Lair and "LOWER LADDER". Now, "CLIMB DOWN". Go back to the hole in the wall and "GET REACTOR" again. Climb back out using the ladder. Don't forget to "GET THE LADDER". Walk NORTH then EAST to the Space Tanker tunnel. Just inside the tunnel, stop where the wires hang down and "GET THE WIRE". Continue walking EAST until you find a Large Robot Head with a broken eye. Walk as close as possible to this damaged eye (without falling off the bottom of the screen!!) and "CLIMB". You will climb through the robot's eye and DOWN into a Rubbish Pit where you'll find a Large Spaceship. This is your means of getting out of here, but you'll need to fix it first! Walk around the SOUTH side of the ship (the side facing you) and "USE LADDER". "CLIMB" to the top of the ship, then "OPEN HATCH".
