== The Story ==

Professor Eyestrain disappeared twenty years ago when the scientific world pooh-poohed his idea of a giant asteroid colliding with the Earth. Now the asteroid has appeared again and only Eyestrain has the solution to destroy it.

Eyestrain was last seen in a high mountainous plain - fiercely hostile to human survival. Prehistoric birds, acid rain, poisonous snakes and horrible mutations, presumably created by Eyestrain himself!

Choose one of five intrepid explorers and set out with your party of bearers around the land-scape in the search for Eyestrain. Eyestrain will ask for various items from your bearers in order to create an Asteroid deflector. You can collect previously abandoned items from other expeditions by walking over them. Once held by a bearer you can use the article when-ever you need to.

Each character has a key item which he will need to complete the mission. Your character will obey all your instructions, even stupid ones, although this may lead to some head shaking!

When stuck, the character may have a bright idea about which item to use or then again he may not.

== My Comments ==

Its my very favourite game, plus its very easy to complete it. Basically, all you have to is collect all the items as shown in "Various Items" section, and after that, you'll have to find Professor Eyestrain, which he will ask you six various items in order to create an Asteroid deflector as follows:

Secret Formula (Yellow)

Coat Hanger

Battery

Atomic Pile (Blue)

Red Button (Red)

Cup of Tea (Red)

After you have given the six items that the Professor Eyestrain asked for, you'll see a rock bounced from the lever, and your score will be 2350 and that will be recorded as High Score.

Tips:

Use a Vacuum Cleaner to fly up and down

Use a Umbrella when you coming down from high distance

Use a Flute when you walking past the snakes

Use a Acme Expanding Bridge when you're approaching to the edge on either side of the platform

Use Bellows when you on the Balloon to fly up or down

Select Silver Lining when you're at the Welding place to convert it to Silver Cross

Use Silver Cross to get rid of the killer

Use a Cricket Ball to knock down the trumps to get the Secret Formula

Use Gumpowder when you're about to fire out of the Cannon
