Slimey's Mine / Silverbird 1988
Screenshots: « play/stop »



Scenario
Slimey has been trapped on an asteroid belt miles from home. His only chance to return is by exploring old mine workings which exist in the area in order to salvage scrap parts from abandoned spaceships. Unfortunately the mines have become over-run by alien lifeforms whose strange behaviour will hinder Slimey's efforts in reaching his goal.

Playing the game
Asteroid level: Moving the joystick enables Slimey to move from one asteroid to another. The surrounding area can be viewed by holding the fire button and moving the joystick. Some asteroids have mine entrances and to make Slimey enter one, click the fire button whilst on the particular asteroid. If Slimey lands on the launch pad, he will fly to the next asteroid belt... providing he has all the sections of his spaceship.

Inside the mines: Move using a joystick, shooting aliens and collecting the blue diamonds left behind. Collect these diamonds until a red diamond appears. Collecting this completes the level, i.e. Slimey can leave the current screen through the exit(s) available. Touching aliens decreases Slimey's energy. This is shown as a jar of water and when his energy runs out, i.e. the jar empties, Slimey loses one of his three lives.

Collectable objects
Slimey can collect these by walking over them:

Blue bubble: Turns aliens red and blue. Touching a blue alien turns another blue and fills water jar. Touching a red one returns all aliens back to normal.

Four yellow balls: Banana bombs, released by F3.

Map: Shows Slimey's current position within the mine.

Blue diamond: Collect enough to make aliens drop red diamonds.

Red diamond: Use these to finish levels. You require four to collect spaceship sections.

Door: Leads back out to the asteroids.

Controls
Movement and firing is by joystick. The following functions are available from the keyboard:

F1: Transfers Slimey to a different part of the current screen. Use the joystick to guide Slimey. Do not transfer into solid rock!

F3: Shoot four banana bombs!

F7: Uses up one red diamond collected and finishes the level.

P: Pause.
