DESCRIPTION

Very unusual platform type game involving using four different

droids to collect some sheep droids.



CONTROLS:

Caps-Space = Alternating Left and Right

A-Enter = Down

Q-P = Up

I-S = Fire



INSTRUCTIONS

You have flown to the planet Andromadous with your droid to

capture Ramboids, a male form of alien sheep.  They only have an

active life of twenty minutes, so to teleport them back to Earth

in a suitable form you will have to move fast.  As time runs out

you must control your droid up through the hundreds of free

Ramboids to gain access to the cavern entrance. The left hand

status panel will then show which order the Ramboids have to be

coerced into the teleport receptor, 4 or more Ramboids correctly

installed will allow you to move to the next cavern.



Being a bit stupid the Ramboids only move in a certain pattern,

either up right bump, down left bump or vice versa.



The droid has three modes of operation as shown on the bottom of

the control panel.  A quick press on the fire button will alter

mode from fly, to dig, into tunnelling.  A long press will show

the location of all the remaining Ramboids.  Tunnelling correctly

is probably the most important skill required to succeed in

capturing all the Ramboids in all 20 caverns.



When you have another go, the password system will allow you to

start where you left off.

NOTES

Very eccentric but original game.  Also very difficult!  It

includes a password system to return to later levels, which I`m

sure you'll agree is vital!
