For those of you who can't figure out how to finish this one (or don't want to
spend the time), here's a few helpful hints.

Scene 1
-------

    After the nice lab explosion, you appear in a water filled pit on another
world.  Press up to swim to the top and up and right to get out.  Go right and
kill all those little beasties in the next two screens.  Then keep going
right.  At about halfway thru the third screen over from the water, a beast
will appear.  Run left and just keep running.  At the ledge, jump on the
rope.  You'll swing back right.  Now keep running right.  After you run into
the alien, just watch and do nothing.

Scene 2 - HTDC
-------

    OK, now you're in a cage.  Start swinging left and right.  After it lands
on the alien, pick up his gun.  Run two screens right and kill the alien. 
Move to the right side of the screen and shoot two aliens as they come from
the left.  Then go to the next screen to the right, and your bud should be
trying to open the door.  Set some shields (hold down fire until a little glow
appears at the end of your gun, then release it).  Set like 2-3 shields to be
safe.  When the doors to your right open up, follow your friend right.  Take
the elevator to the bottom.  Walk into the next screen to the left, shooting
as you go.  The aim is to kill a guy as soon as you enter the room.  After you
kill him, shoot the little light on the wall.  Then take the elevator up one
floor.  Go left and blow a hole in the wall (hold down fire until a large
glowing ball appears on your gun, and release it).  Then run left and stand
over the teleporter (hole in the floor) and push down.  Then continue to run
left.  Go up the next teleporter.  (Make sure your bud is with you).  Go left
through the door.  Your bud will come behind you and open a hole in the
floor.  Go down it.

Scene 3 - CLLD
-------

    OK, you're rollin' in the pipes.  I'll tell you the path, you just avoid
the steam.  Left all the way.  Fall.  Right.  Fall.  Right.  Fall.  Left. 
Fall.  Right.  Fall.

Scene 4 - LBKG
-------

    Go left and charge your gun.  Shoot through the three walls (overload gun
technique).  Run right.  Shoot the alien on the bridge, and then move to the
edge of the bridge.  Jump out and you'll land on a ledge.  Shoot a hole in the
wall.

Scene 5 - XDDJ
-------

    Fall down first hole to your right.  Do this again.  You should be
standing on a balancing rock.  Go right.  Jump over the stalag's and then
continue going right avoiding the falling rocks.  You should encounter some
hanging beasties.  You can shoot some and they'll go up.  If you can shoot it,
use a large laser blast to destroy it.  Continue right avoiding all beasties
until you get to a wall.  Shoot a hole in it.

Scene 6 - FXLC
-------

    After shooting a hole in the wall, proceed back left.  When you get to
where the rocks fall, take the high road, and you'll get to a ledge.  Then go
one screen right, and shoot at the bird.  Go back left and the bird will
follow you.  Run and jump off the ledge and you'll grab onto the first
stalactite.  Wait here until the beastie starts to eat the bird.  Then
continue left on the stalactites by sliding up them and then pushing left and
fire.  Eventually, you'll be on top of the balancing rock.

Scene 7 - KRFK
-------

    Fall off the left side of the balancing rock and use a large laser blast
on its base.  Then run up it.  Continue right, jumping over the pits as they
come.  Then use a large laser blast to shoot the foundation out from under the
water.  Now run like the wind (left), but make sure not to fall in the pits. 
After proceeding left, you'll be standing on a rock that will get shot up by
water underneath it.  Now go right.  You'll go up a ramp and then shoot a hole
in the wall.  Go right, and then up the stairs.  Then continue to go right.

Scene 8 - KLFB
-------

    You should be in a room with a bunch of pillars, and your bud should be
crawling underneath you.  Go right.  Kill the alien.  A good strategy to
killing these guys is to set up shields, and then use a large laser blast to
destroy his shield, followed by a quick laser blast to kill him.  After
killing him, go right and down the stairs.  Go left.  Kill the guy.  Then go
up the stairs and shoot the middle lamp.  You just released your friend.  Now
run right and continue to run right.  You'll run into an alien.  After he
picks you up, press fire to kick him where it hurts.  Run toward your gun, and
then press down.  You'll roll and pick up your gun.  Stay crouched and just
keep shooting.  After you kill the guy, go right.  As you enter the room,
proceed with caution.  Two guys will come, one from either side.  Walk to
about the first pillar (no guys should be coming yet).  Then set shields to
your right.  Then run right of the shields and set a couple more.  The guys
will be shooting at you now.  Kill the one to your right, and then the one to
your left.  Use the killing strategy mentioned earlier.  Proceed to the right
and you will be next to a pit of water.

Scene 9 - TTCT
-------

    Dive into the water.  Swim all the way down, and then to the left.  On the
second screen over, there will be two holes in the rock above you.  Go up the
one further to the left and you can catch your breath.  Then swim straight
down (2 screens).  You should be at the bottom amongst stalagmites.  Swim
right and get out of the water.  Jump over the little beasties, and shoot the
power line.  Then swim back to the top of the pit where you first dove in.

Scene 10 - HRTB
--------

    Get out of the water and go left.  Go up the teleporter, and then up the
stairs to the left.  Then go right until you get to the room with the big
alien and three doors between you and him.  Go about halfway to the doors and
make a shield.  Then go up to the doors and they'll open.  Because you made a
shield, the guy should start rolling grenades.  When he does, back away.  The
doors will close and the grenades will kill the alien.  Then go through the
doors.  Blow a hole in the next door and continue right.  Go up the teleporter
and charge your gun.  Go back down it and continue right.  You are now at the
ceiling level above the guy to the right of the pit of water.  If you look at
the green glass balls, you can see his reflection as he paces.  Squat and
shoot so that a ball lands on top of him.  Then make your way back to the pit
of water.  Swim across.  Go right and you'll see the dead alien with shattered
glass around him.  Keep going right.

Scene 11 - BRTD
--------

    After going right, you will fall down a pit.  Shoot the door to your right
with a large laser blast.  Then run right.  Just keep running.  You will get
to a screen with a gate at the right.  Along the ceiling there is an air
duct.  Stand under that and keep making shields to your left.  Your friend
will come and reach his hand down the air duct.  Hit your fire button and he
will pull you up.

Scene 12 - TFBB
--------

    Go left, behind the rock.  Then go right.  You will be on a path in the
background.  Continue right, past the room where your friend has been
captured.  Then go left into the room and kill the alien closest to you.  Just
run up, and crouch such that your gun sticks thru the shield, and fire.  Then
follow your friend right.  Stand at the edge of the cliff, and he will throw
you across.  Then after he jumps and is hanging, jump left.  You will fall and
grab onto another canopy and swing onto a path.  Put up shields and kill the
two guys that come.  Then go left.

Scene 13 - TXHF
--------

    You should be standing by some stairs.  Go left.  Aliens are leaving the
room.  Run up to the door.  It will open.  Put out your gun, but don't shoot. 
The guy will stick up his arms.  Then go right.  He will then close the door
permanently.  Go right and then go up the stairs.  Crouch in front of the
wall.  Put up a shield and then blow up the wall with a large laser blast. 
The guy will start to roll grenades.  As soon as he starts, run left.  Stand
behind him and let him keep grenading for a minute or so.  Then kill him. 
After his bones fall apart, teleport down (you're standing on a teleporter). 
Then put up a bunch of shields and kill the guy shooting at you.  Then go to
the right, over to the tube and press down.  Shoot the power line and then go
up.  Work your way back to the stairs and go down them.  Notice the hole in
the ground (grenades anyone?).  Go down the hole and proceed to the right. 
The next screen will go dark.  Just keep running.  Guys will shoot at you from
under a grate.  After you pass the grate, stop.  Walk SLOWLY to the right. 
When the screen changes, the lights will be back on.  Jump over the hole and
pull on the lever.  Then go down the hole and run to the right.  Just keep
going right until you get to the wall.  Then press up and you will teleport
up.  Then walk to the left.  You will go thru a door and then your friend will
fall.  Follow him to the right.  After he teleports, press up and you will
teleport.  Then follow him to the right and into the spaceship.

Scene 14 - CKJL
--------

    You're in the spaceship.  The upper right corner of the screen shows the
ship's control panel.  Only two buttons show.  Press them both.  Then press
the button to the lower left.  A new panel of buttons to the left should turn
on.  Then press the top four buttons on that panel.  A flashing button will
appear.  Press that button and you will eject.

Scene 15 - LFCK
--------

    Your pod lands poolside among a swarm of female aliens.  Get out and run
A
right.  On the next screen over you will have to kill four aliens.  (Shield,
shield, big laser, little laser).  After killing them, run right.  On the next
screen, your friend will bust through the wall.  Follow him right.  A laser
will then shoot out the ground from under you.  As you fall, another alien
catches you.  He then kicks you into the next room.  Your friend will come and
jump on the other alien, and when he does, press right to squirm across the
floor to a panel of levers.  The alien will throw your friend off the ledge
and then come after you.  When he's in the center of the screen, press your
fire button and you will pull the first lever, killing the alien.  Quickly,
pull the second lever and a door will open from above.  Press left to make
your way to under the hole.  When you get there, you will teleport up.  That's
the end.  Just watch and enjoy.
