~Level 9 Help

This info obtained via messages in Netmail.


Okay, basically, I've gotten all the way to the end of this level
and set all the charges, and then a Dark Trooper ambushes me. I 
usually only have two lives or so left. Can I escape without 
killing the Dark Trooper?  I'm not having much luck wiping him 
out...in two cases I dumped all my ammo (mortars, rifle fire, etc.) 
into the bastard without killing him.

Nope....You have to kill him....Try using the #0 weapon if you
have it....or run arond until you are on 1 side of the"pits"and he
is on the other then use the #5 weapon....that's how i killed 'em..
Then after you go into that door that opens another one is there...
but it's only a phase 1 Dark Trooper and I made quick work of him...

Sorry but this sucker has to be killed before the door opens
What I do is drop lots of mines an let him walk or fly across
them. Beleive me it's hysterical to watch.   (Steve of Abertay)

I've had pretty good luck with the following strategy: before you
set the last change, lay about three proximity mines around the place
where the DT comes out. Then as soon as the door starts to open, lob 
mortars non-stop at the DT.

I just use the Plasma Cannon, which I save solely for Dark Troopers
of type II.  When you get a Dark Trooper after you at the end of 
level 14, just go back to the small tunnel at the start of the hanger 
area and fight them there.  They really aren't all that tough to kill 
when their wings are clipped in the narrow confines of a small 
corridor.   (Brad Samek   bsamek@uta.edu)
