That platform that you stand on and it drops you down and makes your head spin. You notice that there is a lot of honey comb on the sides. Well if you climb all the way back up there are 6 of those babies. The trick is shooting the honey comb in the correct places as you jump so you have a place to land. After a few games you get the hang of it. If you are not careful too much of the honeycomb is gone and you cant get any higher. I have been able to get to the last of the game but I am dont have enough lives by that point to figure out how to kikk the big guy. I usually loose about 10 lives in the spaceship. -- | Brian Ridout What's the difference between a CAR | | PL/DOSCS salesman and a COMPUTER salesman? | | Kirtland AFB NM 87117 *** | | ridout@uservx.afwl.af.mil The CAR salesman KNOWS when he's lying! |
