Exciting Sci-Fi

Role-Playing lor only $29.95

Every last member of the resistance has either

beencapturedoriscloselymonitoredbytherobot

patrol. As a new inhabitant of XK-120, you have

no police record. You have a chance to locate

the central control console and deacti

vate the robot control system. Not

a good chance, but a chance.

Confuse them by creating a duplicate image of

yourself with the unique holoprojector. Or re-

program them to work for you by mastering

the ingenious Directive Override option.

This science fiction

role-playing game was

created by Chuck Bueche,

the author of AUTODUEL^.

The fast paced action all

takes place in an enclosed

high-tech city of many levels.

As you hurry along extensive air-

jet subways and slidewalks, you'll

need to solve complex mazes and

other intriguing puzzles. The chal

lenges are non-stop and full of

surprises.

Realistic action allowsyou

to move or dimb over

objects.Superbgraphics

on Commodore64/12B<

On your mission, you'll face some 16

types of animated robots. Battle them with

weapons likephasers, blastersandtimebombs.

In 2400 A.D. you step far

into the future. But beware. Each

step you take could be your last.
