88.1been this way once before?DAVE::MITTONToken rings happenFri Oct 07 1994 11:027
    Where exactly is the trigger for the room with the rocket launcher?
    Some times I get it, other times not.
    
    Hints: you should come out of this level with:
    	Chainsaw, Shotgun (duh), Armor, and a Rocket launcher

88.2Try this...RT93::MCDONALDJWish I were here...Wed Oct 19 1994 09:539
    In the room with the elevated platforms there are two switches located
    on the sides of the platforms themselves. The one on your left as you
    walk into the room will lower the platforms, permanantly hiding the
    switch on the right. The one on the right platform is the one that
    opens the secret room off the octagonal room at the end of the hall.
    Hit the one on the right first, then the one on the left.

88.3Ooops. Wrong secret.RT93::MCDONALDJWish I were here...Thu Oct 20 1994 15:1817
    Ooops... My mistake. The switch on the right platform opens the secret
    room in that same room. There's a different switch for the room with
    the missle launcher:
    
    In the room with the caged beast and the window to the outside is a
    switch on the wall that lowers a platform. Clear out the bad guy and
    then ride the platform up. The back wall at the top is another secret
    door with a beastie inside. After you clear him (or her, I can never
    tell) out, step back out onto the first platform. Hold the shift key
    and run forward. You'll land on one of the lighted pedastals in the
    room. This is the switch to open the secret room with the missle
    launcher, which is located in the octagonal room that had all of the
    health potions in it.

88.4No rocket launcher for meCXDOCS::PIERCEThu Oct 20 1994 16:065
    Hate to say it, but 88.3 doesn't seem to work on mine. The door never
    opens under any circumstances.

    Level 1 thickkie questions needs answering pls....
    
    
    1  I have only once got the chainsaw/by accident I presume. Can't 
       figure out how to do it.
    
    2  In the room with caged beastie and platform, Ride the platform 
       and behind it is another switch (already green) what does this do
       I have done both ways - leave it green and search around - hit it 
       make it red and search with no further joy ?????,.
    
       OH hang on   I think its come to me ...   possible spoiler alert...
    
    
    
      Do I leave the 2nd sw green,  jump onto the second platform from 
      the stairs which opens the door to the chainsaw ?????????,.

88.6Chainsaw is behind you!FORTY2::HOWELLJust get to the point...Mon Nov 28 1994 08:1112
    The chainsaw is easy....
    
    At the start point, most people step forward. Mistake number one. If
    you turn around and look behind you, there's a passageway leading
    outside where, voila, there is a chainsaw.
    
    Once you've stepped forward of your starting point, you fall off a
    small ledge, so you can't get back to the chainsaw without re-starting.

    Well b*****r me !!
    
    
    OK then -   so what about my other questions ????.
    
    I am sure that I opened a door*somehow*in the cage room which took me 
    to the Chainsaw.

88.8FORTY2::HOWELLJust get to the point...Mon Nov 28 1994 08:3215
    I'm not totally up on level one, but the secret areas I remember are :-
    
    	o A corner of the tech room opend up to reveal some armour
    
    	o The switch in the imps room opens a door in the same room, which
    	  leads outside where you will find a shotgun and some ammo.
    
    	o A small secret wall in the imps room which, as far as I can
    	  remember, holds nothing important.
    
    	o A secret opening in the small alcove filled with blue bottles.
    
    I'll leave it to you to find out how to get them :-)

88.9PLAYER::BROWNLThe InfoHighway has too many side-roads.Mon Nov 28 1994 11:137
    The secret wall in the imp's room contains a first aid pack, and
    depending on the level one's playing at, something(s) rather more
    dangerous to health!
    
    The rest is accurate.
    
    Cheers, Laurie.
