286.1 | Guardian of what? | CXCAD::SOMERS | | Fri Jul 21 1989 12:33 | 5 |
| Could you describe this game? Is it an adventure game like Link
or a shoot-em-up game? I looked at the back of the box, but I
couldn't get a feel for what it was like.
Thanks, Eric.
|
286.2 | What it is... | SAHQ::SCHULTZ | Orcas & Dolphins: Humans of the Sea | Fri Jul 21 1989 13:38 | 22 |
| This is a blow-your-socks-off shoot'em up game. You are a hero
from the plannet Earth which has flown to this sinister looking
world which just happens to be on an collision course with your
home plannet (hence, your reason for being here). You find a once
beautiful world who's population has fled or been destroyed by the
monsters which now control the world. They however hid their most
powerful weapons and supplies from the monsters in the corridors
of the plannet. You have to destroy the monsters which inhabit
the plannet before they infest the Earth.
This is the general jist of the game. You, (the character that
has been sent to investigate and destroy the approaching menace)
will become the Guardian Legend if you are successful. As I mentioned
in the first note, this game has some extrodanary graphics and the
best object movement without flicker or slow down that I have seen
in a home video game (dozens of nasties moving and comming at you!)
Rating at least an 8.5 to 9 (scale of 1-10). It is quite addictive
and worth at least a rental try whether you are into shoot'em games
or not!

286.3 | I like this game... | CASPRO::MINEZZI | | Tue Aug 15 1989 11:01 | 17 |

re -.1
I agree, I rented this game this past weekend and thought that the
graphics were great, and the game story was very good.
I also like the fact that the game presented a "mixed" main characture
when you are in the planet you are a figure, and when you enter
the corridors you turn into a space ship.
Also, the game has alot of different wepons, and keys are needed
to enter certain sections of the map.
Good game, 8+.

286.4 | Any advice on Corridor 3 ? | MOOV01::BENOIT | | Wed Sep 27 1989 13:00 | 19 |
| I've been playing this game for a few weeks and I think it's great!
Lots of action AND strategy.
I haven't been able to get to the end of Corridor 3 and could use
some advice.
<possible spoiler follows>
I get to the monster at the end of Corridor 3 with full energy (level
12) and power chips (400), but I get wiped out pretty quickly. Can't
seem to totally avoid the "rails" and "bubbles." I've used the Enemy
Eraser to destroy the "bubbles" after they make it very difficult to
maneuver. Unfortunately none of them turn into hearts or chips to
restore energy. Does anyway know of a way to shoot the "bubbles"?

I also had trouble with Corridor 3 at first......the trick was to

I am now at Corridor 21! Chip power is at 4000 and weapons are at
Power 3.
After sealing 20 and entering 21: <somewhat_of_a_spoiler>
You fly down and fight 5 or 6 of the boss characters from previous
seals but not at the strength they were when you first met up
with'm. After beating the boss character of Seal 21....you are
shown flying away from the planet as it blows up....And you think
it's over, but it's not!!!!
You meet up with another boss character, and am I having a time
with this guy!!! Don't know what follows, but will keep you posted!

286.7 | Lost in Corridor 9! | MFGMEM::BENOIT | | Fri Oct 13 1989 14:10 | 18 |

Anyone out there still playing "Guardian"?
I was finally able to close up Corridor 3!! and closed up
several other corridors as well. Now I'm stuck again at
Corridor 9!
This is the corridor in the upper left corner of the planet.
Occasionally I can make it to the monster at the end of the
corridor by using all my Enemy Erasers. But I can't seem to
make a dent in the monster. He's the one who spits out
skeleton heads that home in on you, and bars that trash your
power level.
Any hints on how to do this beast in would be greatly
appreciated.

Re: Corridor 9. is "easy".
Also,
How do you survive in corridor 20, let alone fight
the monster at the end of it?? It seems to be the
hardest challenge except for the monster after the
planet is destroyed.
-Andy
<spoiler on 9>
To defeat the BEM (bug eyed monster) in corridor 9,
you have to get up close and personal and hit it from the
side using your cutter laser. (This was learned after
MUCH experimentation.)
p.s.
Save your enemy erasers for later.

This note is for the discussion of The Guardian Ledgin.
I got this game for Christmas and it is great. It has a password
frature which is indespensable. There 20 corridors that you have to
work your way thru and dispatch of the creatures in each one in
corridors 1-10 you pick up keys to let you into other areas of the
world where you find the corridors. It is a bit like zelda in that
a map might help you out. The graphics are great and the action is fast
and furrious. on a scale of 1-10 this would have to be a 9 to 9 1/2
I snuck it before Christmas and am now working my thru the tenth and
twentyth corrodors. hopefully tonight I will save the world.

It's a matter of traveling through the rooms and destroying the

How do you kill the scorpion-thing at the end of corridor 2?
I've gotten to the end of Corridor 11 and 12 and can't kill those
things either? Am I supposed to go from Corr 1 to 2 to 3, etc
or can I kill of 11 and 12 first?
After closing Corr 1, I explored all the new territory and ran
into 2 blue crabs in 2 different areas. Believe it or not, I
can't kill them either. Do they have something I need before I
go in Corr 2, 11, or 12?

<Lots'a Spoilers>
>>>>How do you kill the scorpion-thing at the end of corridor 2?
The scorpion thing is called a Crawdaddy. The claws block your
forward firing weapons. Shoot the claws that it throws at you
to get power chips to recharge your damage. (I think)
By this time you should have Fireballs so you can burn right
through the BEM. (Bug Eyed Monster)
>>>>I've gotten to the end of Corridor 11 and 12 and can't kill those

>>>>or can I kill of 11 and 12 first?
You do not have to go in sequence, although it is easier. Nuke the
BEM in Corridor 11 first. The BEM in Corridor 12 is VERY NASTY.
It spits out strings that nuke your power level. Just wait till
you meet the red version of this guy in Corridor 3. . . .

>>>>go in Corr 2, 11, or 12?
Yes. Yes. Yes. There should be 2 monsters that have to be killed
each ares of the surface complex. In your case you are facing two
blue crabs and two round crab things. The Blue crabs can be killed
by getting next to them and stabbing them w/ your cutter laser.
Each of these monsters has a VERY useful item you need. These
types of monsters are present in the rooms where the alarms go off
and green pyramids appear cutting off your escape. I usually call
these rooms challenge rooms for lack of a better term.

286.20 | Lots & Lots of Enemy Erasers | ENOVAX::MCGRORY | Temporarily derailed... | Fri Jan 12 1990 13:35 | 42 |

We (the house) got Guardian Legend for X-mas and I think it's GREAT!!!
My husband is as hooked with this as he was with Zelda. Can't seem to
get into Adventures of LINK though. Any other simular games worth
trying?
Anyway, I spend more time watching than playing. I don't seem to have
the hand-eye coordination my husband and son do. So I do the maping out
and keep track of stuff for them. Then I play when no ones around so I
don't have to hear " Oh that's easy, you want me to kill it for you?".
I do have a spoiler for you all. I haven't seen much in this file
regarding the ENEMY ERASER. You get 20 of them somewhere after the
second key. However, we have figured out how to replenish them and even
get more. Spoiler to follow........
.......go to one of the spider that multiplies and start fireing. Don't
ever kill them all off or leave the room. Just keep fireing. Hearts, blue
and red balls will show up, and you can pick these up as you need them,
but eventually, an ENEMY ERASER will appear. This will give you twenty
of them.
Another SPOILER.............
.......after you get twenty, just keep fireing at the spiders. You can
continue this for as many ENEMY ERASERS as you want. THIS TAKES TIME
but does a great job of racking up the points, which works in your
favor also. I have collected as many as 120 ENEMY ERASERS aftering
entering the room. If you leave the room, you just have to start
killing the spiders all over again.
Have fun.

| I need a spoiler, if there is one, for finishing corridor #3. I've
closed all the other corridors I can get to and now can't go any
further without another key....which, I assume, will come with closing
corridor three. Do you have to outlast, or outblast, the creature
at the end of #3?
Also, is it necessary to buy any of the things offered along the
way, or do you get all the necessary weapons from defeating the
various creatures?
Any help appreciated.

286.27 | No easy way out. | TLE::FUELLEMANN | Software engineers put the 'soft' in software. | Mon Jan 22 1990 09:21 | 11 |

There is no real spoiler on beating the guy in Corridor #3. It takes
lots of practice. Somebody did mention that you could fly in a figure
eight, but that did not really help me beat that monster.
Also, you should buy the weapons that are for sale. IF you do so, you
get upgrades for your existing weapons. There are three levels of
power for each weapon that you have. Of course the stronger the
weapon, the more power chips it takes to run it.
-Andy
|
286.28 | | PIGGY::LEWIS | | Mon Jan 22 1990 09:29 | 11 |
| Thanks....I was hoping there was a trick to it. Guess I'll have
to go back through the first (main) maze and see what's there to
buy. Are the same things offered in more than one location? I
noticed that in some areas you can only choose one item, so if they
aren't offered in another area how do you determine the best choice?
Any other general tips about the game appreciated.
Thx
Bob
|
286.29 | More generalities. | TLE::FUELLEMANN | Software engineers put the 'soft' in software. | Mon Jan 22 1990 10:24 | 10 |
|
Sometimes there is duplication, but it is very limited. Also,
there are three power levels for each weapon system that you can use.
You can see this on your status board. The first time you get a
weapon, the border is blue, then green for the next upgrade, and
finally red for max power. (I am not too sure about the order for this
though.) Also the effects of the upgrades are quite spectacular.

<Spoilers on corridor 8>
I got the method for opening #8 up wrong. You are supposed to
set your weapon to "no use" and fire. Sorry about that.
<To kill the guy in #8>
Use Fireballs. Try to stay to the side of him when he moves around
and attempt to have your shots coincide with his retreats.
This monster moves in a horizontal figure 8. When he is pulling
away from you, fire a fireball and this will stay on him longer and
do more damage.

Fire your fireball and walk on top of it as it moves
across the room. The monster jumps all over you and
it takes lots of damage. Keep firing at all times to
kill the little rocks. You can get an upgrade for
the fireball in the next section of the corridors.

I recently got this game and I really like it! The graphics
are better than average, and your "mission" is interesting
and challenging. The game is a good blend of shooting things
(arcade-type action?) and adventure, leaning towards shooting.
Through your exploring (and wasting things) you can accumulate
a fairly large and varied arsenal of weapons (among other
items, such as keys), certain ones working better on certain
adversaries. When I first started playing, I thought I was
going to go blind after awhile, but fortunately only the very
beginning was that "high-speed approach". :-)

Yes, you did finish the game.
The password "TGL" lets you run through all the corridor scenes in
the correct order. This is alot harder than the ordinary game, as
you cannot kill off the easier monsters before you do the harder ones.

Some help (behind FF).
I used the two way laser. This lets you hit the stuff that comes
in from the side. Also you will have to switch from that to the
enemy erasers and fireballs from time to time. You have to be very
quick just because of the sheer volume of bad guys.
With the challenge rooms, which ones are you talking about? The only
room that I have problems is the one with the dinosaur head that flies
around in it. (To beat that one, use fireballs and aim real well.)

inflict damage but I get trashed before I can kill the monster. Any

286.48 | Lots of hints and a big spoiler. | TLE::FUELLEMANN | Conserve solar energy. | Tue Jun 26 1990 11:30 | 42 |

Hint.
Get up close and personal.
Bigger hint behind FF.
See what happens when you fly through the arms.
Huge spoiler for the last BEM
Do you want to read this. . . .
The best way to kill this guy is to fly right in front of his mouth and
use fireballs. The reason is that if you hit his body you will take
damage. This also applies to his hands. *HOWEVER*, you can fly through
the arms and not get hurt.
The closer you are to it, the higher your rate of fire and the quicker
it will die. Ad it takes more damage, it will turn yellow and then
red. Once it is red, it should die soon. (However you are usually
close to death at this time too.)

Obviously when the hands are retracted, don't hang around. Also, you
have to be able to react quickly because it does move from side to side.

286.50 | Corr 8 Revisited | DELREY::UCCI_SA | Don't bunt. Aim out of the ballpark! | Tue Sep 04 1990 14:04 | 7 |
| A while back someone had trouble opening Corr. 8. I'm stuck there
myself. Note 286.33 gave a hint: Wave at it. Does anyone know what
this means? How do you wave in guardian legend?
Major spoiler needed to get this darn Corridor 8 open!!

<*Big Spoiler*>
Use the special weapon that fires a wave beam. The symbol is a "))" or
something like that.

286.52 | Great price for great game | CNTROL::MACNEAL | Papa Mac | Tue Jan 29 1991 09:52 | 5 |
| I just bought this game at Kaybee Toy & Hobby in the Greendale Mall,
Worcester, MA for $19.99. I'm having alot of fun with it. If you
liked Zelda and Link, I think you'll like this game. I enjoy the added
twist of the transformer character to switch between a human figure and
a spacecraft.

286.53 | re .52 Right behind you | 3149::JAFFE | | Sat Mar 02 1991 16:36 | 13 |
| Papa Mac,
I must have baught the copy just behind yours. Its fun but hard on the
control fingers. I think I need an advantage controller for this game.
I ahve manager to seal one corridor but I'm having a lot of trouble
with one of the two crabs in the next two sections of the map. I ahve
managed to build up to 150 and have lots of weapons but I am still
light on experience. The book is garbage, especially one who has just
played some of the best constructed and documented RPG games like final
fantasy and crystalis.
Keep us up to date with yoru progress, I am sure I will need some help
soon.

286.54 | help in opening corridor 8 | 3149::JAFFE | | Fri Mar 08 1991 10:02 | 7 |
| I can't seem to get corridor 8 open. I have closed everything else and
can not find any clues which hint at how to oepn 8. This is the
corridor in the south at the beginning of the area. I have tried
everything that worked before, weapons, touch, waiting around, in and
out, etc.
Spoiler welcomed......

286.55 | I think I know this one. | TLE::FUELLEMANN | Conserve solar energy. | Fri Mar 08 1991 13:16 | 14 |
|
Try this. . . .
This maybe a spoiler. . . .
If my guess is right. . . .
Set your special weapon to "No use" and fire.

286.56 | Only through effort can one succeed. | MAMIE::JAFFE | | Mon Mar 11 1991 12:55 | 11 |
| Thanks for the hint, you are indeed correct in how to open that seal.
Faced with the probelm and no hint this weekend, I triumphed and found
the soultion on my own. What I found at the end of corridor 8 was an
even bigger probelm which took up most of my game play this weekend.
Again, I triumphed after many many tries and tribulations.
I closed the two corridors in the upper left section of the universe
and have tried only twice to close the two (9 and 20 I think) in the
upper center of the universe. These two seem like the biggest challange
yet, but I wont cry for help until I have given it some effort. Still
a great game, especially for the money.

286.57 | It's not over yet. | TLE::FUELLEMANN | Conserve solar energy. | Mon Mar 11 1991 14:05 | 4 |

No problem. Just wait until you close corridors 9 and 20. Heh Heh.

286.58 | FINAL FRONTIER | HOTWTR::HAGUE_LO | AIM TO PLEASE | Fri Aug 02 1991 11:47 | 8 |
| HELP!!!
I'm in corridor 21 (final one, I guess) I have killed all the nasties
except the one after you leave the planet with the long arms. I have
tried everything. A clue would be nice, a spoiler would be welcome.
Thanks,
Louise

286.60 | Tough opening sequence !! | RAYBOK::COOPER | One-ton Tomato ! | Tue Aug 20 1991 19:56 | 10 |
| I must be the most inept Nintendo player in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have played this game for several hour now and still can't get
through the opening sequence. I keep getting killed as I fly through
an area where little hatches open up and what looks like bowling pins
come flying at me. I am almost though the opening sequence at this time
or are there still a lot of things to do. I hope to get a my first
password soon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The graphics are great, I just
have a slow trigger finger.

Once you get past this, you will get additional weapons and enter the
mazes.

286.62 | Finally proceeding !! | RAYBOK::COOPER | One-ton Tomato ! | Fri Oct 18 1991 12:54 | 15 |
| Well, I finally made it through the first section after throwing the
game in the corner for a few weeks. I hooked up my Advantage, set A
and B to TURBO, and slashed my way to the surface of the planet. I
have closed corridors 1,2,11, and 12 now and have figured out that
I need to fight all the monsters that appear in rooms after you are
sealed in by green blocks. (I was dodging them at first) There is
one thing that isn't a crab that is giving me fits. It looks like
a green flying eyeball. Every time I get sealed in the room with
this guy he wastes me fast. The blue crabs are hard but beatable,
this guy appears indestructable (I sure he is not though !! )
Any tips on wasting this thing would be appreciated.
This is really a fun game but also very difficult for someone
with slow reflexes !! 8^)
