Mission REF 20: Colombo: Part III - The Moon

  • MISSION TACTICS:
    This last Mission is a piece of cake. Don't worry if you lose an agent; it's the last Mission so who cares?

    As soon as you are dropped, you must run to the corridor down below. A Zealot, unhandy with trigger wire, will accidentally blow up the whole building. Stay in the corridor and be prepared with your plasma lances. The corridor is an excellent place for fighting battles: you can only be attacked from one side, and they can only attack you one by one (because the corridor is too small). Finish the Epoch agents and the spiders that will attack you.

    When everything is clear you can leave the corridor and get closer to "The Nine". You can reach them, but you'll have to pass trigger wire. The explosion of the wire triggers a lot of spiders (about 15 or so) and some Zealots. Run back to the corridor: it's still the best place for defence and offence. Here you can take out the spiders one by one.

    Ready? Go back to The Nine then. They are armed too, so watch out. Use the long-range rifles or the plasma lances or the rocket launchers The last two of the nine are located elsewhere. You'll have to pass another corridor. If you have some explosives left place them there. With a little luck it will take out both of the last members of The Nine.

    Congratulations! You have finished the game! Watch the end sequence, watch the credits go by... and start to wonder how it would be to be on the other side.
