No it's possible, and without any cheats too. The secret is that you have to rescue the girl only once. If you try to rescue her the second time, not only is it harder but the fight with the guard becomes almost impossible when you are retrieving the last piece of the rocket. It's a good idea to capture a fuel base early (both if you can) so that fuel is not one of your concerns. Also make sure you map out your trips to cover the most amount of ground with the least fuel. Start at the farthest countries first (longest travel time, but at the beginning you have time to spare until the girl is captured for the first time). In case you haven't guessed, I've made it to the end, although I haven't looked at the game in 6 months now (that's why I hate adventure-type games... once you finish there's no challenge left in them). Have you ever taken off and had a UFO appear in the sky just behind you? That's significant near the end on the moon ('nuff said). -- Kevin Picott aka Socrates aka kpicott%alias@csri.toronto.edu Alias Research Inc. 110 Richmond St. E. Toronto, Ontario...
