3692.0. "Rainbow Islands" by SHIRE::FITZGERALD (Software is the solution) Thu Apr 19 1990 05:44

    I have become addicted to Rainbow Islands, but absolutely cannot get
    past the big momma spider at the end of Insect Island. I get in 1 hit
    max. before getting stomped.
    
    I have only ever succeded in getting 6 of the 7 diamonds. What happens
    with 7?
    
    I believe that each island has a secret room. Any hint on getting to
    it?

	My wife and I have made it all the way through to the last Island... to get past the spider you must simply avoid being touched by it and every time it comes within range - fire a rainbow towards it. If you do damage you will hear a brief shuffling noise (This applies to all nasties at the end of each island) and see a unit of health on the health indicator at the top of the screen disappear... when all the health of the monster is gone - it dies! and you can continue... Good luck Phil
3692.2	Secret Room?	SHIRE::FITZGERALD	Software is the solution	`Fri Aug 24 1990 10:33`	4
	The documentation sayst that there is a secret room on each island. Anyone found one? Maurice
3692.3	cheat?	XSTACY::PATTISON	A rolling stone gets the worm	`Sun Aug 18 1991 14:17`	16
	Anybody playing Rainbow Islands? I found the secret room on Insect Island, and noticed some heiroglyphics at the top of the screen. I remember reading somewhere that this somehow represents some sort of cheat code to skip levels. But it just looks like a bunch of symbols to me. Anybody have more details? Dave BTW to find the secret room, you collect the gems in sequence, red to purple, and a door appears in the end-level room. Avoid the spider and touch the door.
