This is another one of those
games that I'd thought I'd never see the end of. The C64
version is seriously bugged, with one zone being
impossible to navigate which makes the game impossible
to complete.
The aim
of the game is to
control a four-legged metal vehicle called the Arachnus
4. You have to conquer each of the twenty five
districts that contain ten insects and one queen, which
have to be destroyed before moving
onto the next zone. You can fire regular bombs and super
bombs that are needed to kill the queens. It's not a
bad game, although there isn't an awful lot to do and
most of the levels look the same apart from the colour
scheme. It's a shame that it was released with such a
terrible bug that ruined the game...
Arachnus 4's mission
is over...
...finally!
The screen clears...
...to reveal the
ending messages.
The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
I tried to beat it before I knew about the bug and
realised that I needed to find a way to beat it without
having to enter the bugged zone. I poked about in the
code and increased the value that held the number of
zones I had conquered by one. This meant I could beat
the other twenty four zones and complete the game.
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
Once the final district is complete, a message appears
to confirm that it is cleared. Following that a message
appears which reads 'Great Work. City Cleared'. The game
then ends.
