1682.0. "Xenon - how do you waste a Sentinel?" by MEIS::ZIMMERMAN (Walt sent me) Mon Sep 12 1988 01:57

    My son and I love Xenon, one of the games in the Awesome Arcade
    Action Pack.  We got hooked by the demo that Comp-U-Save had running
    at last Saturday's Commodore show. 

    Xenon has been reviewed in the RATE-A-SOFTWARE note.  The action 
    involves navigating a corridor full of hostile ordnance until you run 
    into a Sentinel - a big, fast, nasty sucker who cleans your clock 
    almost instantly.  Sentinels are vulnerable to certains types of 
    attack, but you have to figure out what they are.  We've had no luck 
    so far.  Does anyone know how to take out the Sentinel in Sector 1?

1682.1To kill a fly!STOPIT::HERBERTHerbie Goes Bananas!Mon Sep 12 1988 06:0118
    
    To kill the nasty beasty in sector one...
    
    Shoot many times.  You will notice that the shield in the centre
    of the alien open to reveil an orange-red centre.  This may take 
    a long time, depending on your firepower and hit accuracy!
    
    When the orange-red centre is on display shoot to the middle of the 
    alien. If your aim is good it will flash and the centre will begin 
    to pulsate.  Score about 10 hits and the alien will die...
    
    If you reach and successfully defeat the guardian on the third sector,
    please let me know...he/she/it is causing me great difficulty.

1682.2Be Patient!!RAIN::WDERENWhen in trouble or in doubt run in circles scream and shout!Mon Sep 12 1988 14:2212
    
    When you first hit the screen it's on go to the right or left 
    staying high, it will dip down then go back up towards the top.
    
    When it does you move down to a lower corner, it will move down and
    fire, then you can move up.
    
    Then it moves back up and you can move down and across and fire
    as you go by.  It repeats this up and down pattern and doesn't go
    into the corners after you.
    
     It takes patience but it can be done.
1682.3Advanced sectorsJGO::CHAPMANFri Dec 16 1988 08:288
    My friend's kids are getting frustrated !
    
    Does anybody know if it is possible to go directly from booting
    to the second/third... sector. Is it possible to get to the sectors
    that are shown in the demo at the start?
