Tintin on the Moon

This is a Action Adventure game based on the comic book of the same name. Tintin on the Moon was developed by INFOGRAMES/HERGE. Published under licence by Digital integration Ltd. For the Commodore Amiga in 1989.

THE JOURNEY THROUGH SPACE
You must take control of the rocket and take Tintin and his friends to the moon. You must avoid the
meteorites and catch the yellow and red spheres on your way. The yellow spheres stock up your energy
supply. You must catch 8 red spheres to proceed to the next stage.

IN THE ROCKET
Your job ts to guide Tintin through the various rooms in the rocket. You must disarm the bombs, put out
fires, free his companions and catch the dastardly Colonel Boris! You must complete these tasks in order
to proceed to the next stage.

Note: You will first have to get the extinguisher. When empty (it will flash on the left-hand side of the screen),
fetch another one. To take an extinguisher, Tintin must simply touch it.

Waming : In this part of the game, you cannot use a mouse.

In Zero gravity -Tintin floats through the rocket's various compartments. To change his trajectory, use
the joystick or cursor keys just before he bounces off something, keep the direction during the bounce, then
release. To switch from normal to zero gravity (and vice versa), press F1.


COMMANDS TO ACTIVATE THE EXTINGUISHER
To take an extinguisher, Tintin must simply touch it. To activate it aim Tintin in the direction of the fire
and press the fire button or the space bar simultaneously.

THE BOMBS
The bombs set by colonel Boris are indicated at the bottom of the sreen. They are tansferred one by one
into the yellow frame (bottom left comer) as Tintn defuses them. To disarm a bomb, Tintin must simply
touch it. Note: An alarm signal will anounce when a bomb is about to explode.

OTHER ACTIONS POSSIBLE
- To free someone, Tintin has only to touch him (prisoners are indicated in the bottom left border).

- To capture Colonel Bons, Tintin has to sneak up from behind and jump on him! But he can also use the
extinguisher.

MOONLANDING
When you are close enough to start landing procedure, you will momentarily lose control. Take a well-eamed
rest as you sit back and watch the Moon get closer and closer. When the rocket tums round, it is time to
take over the controls again!

To land, you need to brake the speed by regulating the auxillary engine. This last test will allow you to convert
the energy to score...
