SLIME ALERT!!!
You are Todd, a bold and nearly fearless galactic explorer. Whether you are by 
yourself, or part of a two to eight man crew, you like nothing better than 
planets full of weird and dangerous creatures. On an exploration mission in the 
Andromeda sector, you dis- cover a mysterious drifting starship. You board the 
deserted ship, and retrieve part of the captains log.
The log describes Slime World, a planet teeming with slime gooey disgusting life 
forms. You only have the first section of each dates entry, so the information 
is maddeningly incomplete. But when you reach the first reference to valuable 
slime gems, you immediately order the android copilot to set in a course for 
Slime World!
When you arrive you discover that Murphy's Law works overtime on Slime World. 
Whatever can go wrong does go wrong. In many adventures a new and exciting 
monkey wrench is thrown into the gears. And every misadventure is populated with 
Maggots, Drools, and other revolting creatures.
In one adventure you discover that there is only one escape capsule and it's a 
one seater. Unfortunately there are more crewmembers than there are seats. Will 
you get to it first, or will you be stranded forever with nothing but slimeballs 
for neighbors?
Slip and slide your way through six complex solo adventures and, if you are 
Comlynxed, six challenging multi-player adventures. Try not to get slimed, and 
keep those aliens from getting stuck to your face!

game for one to eight players.

switched off, insert the game card as described in the Lynx Owner's Manual.

six Adventure Description screens displays.

points.) Display the Restart screen if you wish to begin play at a restart point 
instead of at the beginning of a level. Press A or B. A six character code 
displays. Press the joypad up or down to scroll through available letters and 
numbers to change the character displayed in the highlighted code slot. When the

A or B to begin play.

THE JOURNAL
Todd swiveled his chair to face the computer screen after giving the android 
copilot the coordinates for Slime World. Then he asked the ship's computer, 
"Hey, Morty, are you sure you can't retrieve any more of those files?"
There was a pause, and a voice issued from the terminal. "Positive, Boss. It 
looks like the entire ship was exposed to some bizarre magnetic phenomena... an 
electromagnetic radiation beam, maybe. Real Buck Rogers stuff, you know? I'm 
surprised there's any intact data at all."
Todd sighed. "Ok Morty, show me what you have. You say that the journal entries 
were recorded by voicerecorder and transcribed into text files?"
"That's right," Morty said. "The guy was talking into his microphone as he was 
walking through the slime. Gross."
"Spare me the editorial, and start again, at the beginning."
"Sure Boss." The first journal entry displayed on the illuminated screen...

First solo landing, Slime World.
    From what I have observed on the surface, the planet was once inhabited by 
    humanoid lifeforms. This explains the abundance of helpful artifacts. The 
    humanoid population was apparently unable to subdue the overwhelming numbers 
    of quickly reproducing slime creatures, and so they abandoned the planet. I 
    am standing next to a tunnel entryway into the planets subterranean maze. I 
    will enter and explore.
    I am in a small chamber. The floor, walls and ceiling are coated in green 
    slime. I picked up several artifacts: a slime shield and two devices which 
    seem to increase the potency of my weapon. And in the slime I found a 
    glowing gemstone of extraordinary value! How odd that such a beautiful gem 
    would exist here in the fetid muck. I am entering the next chamber Ahhhgg! 
    (nontranslatable, 2 minutes 46 seconds) it's dead. When I shot it with water 
    it exploded in a shower of green droplets. The drops...
"That's it for the first entry Boss. Here comes the next one."

Second solo landing, Slime World.
    I have never experienced such a deadly fast breakdown of life support 
    systems. I barely had time to communicate to the rescue ship before I 
    jetpacked down to the surface. I must meet the ship at the landing zone, 47 
    kilometers to the east. The radiation levels on the surface are too high for 
    safety, so I must again enter the depths of Slime World.
    (nontranslatable, 4 minutes 21 seconds) So many creatures! My clothing drips 
    with slime I must use a shield. Ah, better. There are many artifacts here, 
    and many gems. But I must not tarry, the ship will not wait forever.
    A green fall of slime, spewing out disgusting gobbets of putrescence Should 
    I jump or...
"Or what? Come on Morty!" Todd was on the edge of his chair.
"That's the end of the entry, Boss" Morty said apologetically. "Here's number 
three."
"Ok, just keep them coming Morty."

Third solo landing, Slime World.
    Another ship failure! I can't believe it! All my profits are going to pay 
    for new ships. And this time I don't know where the rescue ship will land. 
    Oh well, back underground.
    Through the door there are slime creatures patrolling a shaft of red slime, 
    the sticky stuff. I will shoot from the door and dodge the drops and then 
    jump from green to green slime, trying to avoid the red slime.
    At the bottom of the shaft there seems to be...

Fourth Solo landing, Slime World. 
    My ship's in trouble, and Slime World is going to collapse in on itself. The 
    computer says that the fungal growths that normally stabilize the planet 
    have gone wild. If they are not removed from the slime, the planet is 
    doomed. I must find and pick the mushrooms to gain time for the repairs 
    needed on the ship.
    I thought the long fall down a slippery shaft would be my doom, but a pool 
    of water at the bottom of the shaft cushioned my fall.
    I shoot them and shoot them but it does no good! Where are the shields? I 
    must...

Fifth Solo landing, Slime World. 
    The ship was damaged on landing. I can't fix it. My only hope is to wander 
    Slime World and hope for a miracle.
    The gods are against me! My weapon is malfunctioning, and without it I have 
    slim chance of survival in this hideous place.
    I encountered sticky red slime, and then slipped on bluish slime and plunged 
    to the bottom of a shaft, into water. A door to the right leads to a large 
    chamber filled by a slime pool. To traverse the chamber it appears I must...
"Argh!" growled Todd. "It's like watching soap operas!"
Morty said nothing and displayed the next entry.
Confederation Date: 3043.6.8
Sixth solo landing, Slime World. 
    Will wonders never cease? Nothing is wrong with the ship, and with a little 
    luck I will be able to collect enough slime gems to finance a larger 
    expedition, with a real crew! Down I go, into what I hope will be an area 
    rich in gems and poor in slime creatures!
    My luck holds. This is the worst section of Slime World so far. Multitudes 
    of gross and dangerous creatures abound. And I discovered something 
    extremely important. When you shoot the red slime gems they...
"They what? They what?" Todd exclaimed. "I don't think I can take much more of 
this. Did he survive, Morty?"
"Here's the next entry, Boss."
Confederation Date: 3044.10.8
First expedition with crew, Slime World.
    I found my brother's ship, and am continuing his log, but I have no hope 
    that my brother lives. My crew and I will explore for his remains, but from 
    what I have read of this place, I don't think we will be successful.
    We gained entrance to the underground maze, and found some of the fabulous 
    gems that led my brother to his doom. The lifeforms here are deadly, and 
    hideous to behold. A flyheaded creature exploded in green slime when my 
    science officer shot it. Bubbles of yellow pus swell from the floor and 
    explode spontaneously. Gorflaxus nearly drowned in a slime pool because he 
    neglected to...

Second expedition with crew, Slime World.
    Our ship developed a major malfunction and we had to abandon her. The rescue 
    ship will meet us soon, and we must make our way to the landing site. Th
