Space monster are homing in on your spaceman - will he run? Or has he got time to dig a hole and trap a monster? The decision is yours!

You have to drop him 2 levels OR drop another monster on his head. Blue ones are 3 level drop OR drop another monster on his head.

You have to make him fall 2 floors. Here is some extra info.

From the manual:

"You score points each time you eliminate a Space Monster. A "Creature (red) must fall through one floor to be eliminated. But "Boss" (green) must fall through two floors and "Don" (blue) must fall through three floors to be eliminated."

The more floors they fall the more points you get. You get extra points when a falling monster falls on another monster.

Edit: Sorry I walk away from the computer and went and got the manual, and didn't realize the answer was already posted.

I had never played this game. It is such a slow game that it reminds me of Amidar on the 2600. The first few times I tried the game I really thought this was a stinker, but it gets better. That's a nice plus to these high score clubs, they make me try a game and stick with it longer than I would normally - and some games turn out to be decent (or even pretty good).

Any help on how to line up holes on different levels when you dig. I seem to just barely miss lining them up.

Thanks,
RG

RangerG I use the ladders as a reference for lining up holes.

For anyone that needs help killing the bad guys, here's a screenshot from the arcade version that shows how far to drop them.

This is a pretty unique, but frustratin' little game. It took me a while to figure out how drop the little buggers through the floor...you got to hit 'em in the head three times with a blooming shovel! Trying to line up multiple holes in the floor levels is easier said than done. There's definitely a lot of strategy involved with this one.
