> PHANTOM OF THE ASTEROID by Mastertronic


Completed by David Craddock
You may all think I (the Webmaster) am sad but I came in my pants when I saw this ending. It had nothing to do with the music or effects, it's just that I have been waiting for 20 years to see this ending - I mean SERIOUSLY waiting to see it. I had given up on the fact that this game had no ending and that the programmer, Martin Ellis, was just fooling us around. How wrong I was ...

There was a little contest on the LEMON C64 forum between myself, Matt Rogers and Dave Craddock to see who could complete this game first - with cheats, obviously! Anyway, it seems that David is 'DA MAN' and that we should all bow down to his greatness and serve him forever more ...


Finally! The teleporter that gets you out of there!


And off you go ...


... just in time because the asteroid has exploded - KABOOOOM.


You bet your ass we completed it - well David did, anyway. The End.

HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?: We ALL cheated! Matt found some POKES on another website which allowed us to walk through the doors and have infinite energy - nice :)

SO WHAT HAPPENS?: Well, once you have found all the pieces to the puzzle you then have to find the teleporter, which will take you off the asteroid before it explodes!

Once on the teleported, you are teleported away and there is a dramatic explosion that signifies the end of the asteroid.

The screen then displays the final message, which reads, "WOW! YOU'VE DONE IT!", and a game ending Rob Hubbard tune plays in the background.

COMMENTS: I a smitten with this ending - honest! You may not think that it deserves such a high mark, but I have been waiting a LONG TIME to see this ending and I am impressed: great explosion, nice final message and a cool piece of Hubbard music - all this from a £1.99 budget title, remember.

FINAL SAY: It's short, sweet and very cool c(",).

G.E. RATING: 8 / 10
