=46rom Crash Issue 12:
"I have successfully completed Android 2, all three zones,
the Flatlands being the most difficult. However, I have
discovered a way to overcome the rapid loss of androids. For
a successful completion you must position Android 2 at the
bottom of the screen (Flatlands) where the maze can be more
easily assessed. You will find that the millitoids all try to
enter the maze, so they become easy targets. To prove that I
have completed the game, you will find that Android 2's task
begins again, yet this time the Bouncers etc are at least 3
times faster.'
