Hired Guns - Fusion Reactor - Log Entry 18

This is where you can find the first fusion power core ring. There are four in total, which must be taken to the Spaceport (Log Entry 21). Inserting them in the corresponding field coil generators at the target site will enable you to trigger a thermonuclear explosion, thus completing the primary objective of the campaign.

The reactor is defended by Robodyne 7000 series (which look fairly similar to a certain robotic cop's arch enemy). They are amongst the toughest opponents from throughout the campaign - although at this stage you are fortunate that they are not equipped with shields or ranged weapons. Without having any access to any other powerful weapons at this point, it is best to deal with them using the grenade launcher. It's also a good idea to equip the user with a Psi-amp Fireshield (one of which can be found outside the main building), as this will protect them from the splash damage from the explosions. As a last resort, the Robodynes are slow to turn, and you can out manoeuvre them by side-stepping and running past. This saves Bonden from certain death at one point in the video when I foolishly forget to reload the grenade launcher.

OOOH!! Hired guns!!!

It was an awesome game... pity I never completed it

[Jimbatron]

I didn't either back in the day - a copy of WinUAE was all that was needed to tie up that loose end.

Obviously the graphics can't compete with the games of today, but it is testament to the people who wrote it that it is still very playable. It's also amazing how much there is to it when you consider it was less than 5mb in size!
