HOT TIPS FOR PLAYING "CORRIDOR 7: ALIEN INVASION"
* Always, always, always, before you begin each level, turn on your proximity
map.
* Never start looking for secret rooms and passageways until you have finished
killing all of the aliens.
* Whenever you are fighting an alien, always keep your distance from that alien.
* Whenever you are in a long (or short, for that matter) hallway, fire your
weapon. This will cause most (sometimes, all) of the aliens which are in
that hallway to begin to move.
* You have probably noticed by now that, while in open rooms, the aliens move
diagonally from left to right, and that this so that they will be harder to
hit. If you are close to the perimiter of the floor which you are on and you
are fighting an alien, move out into that perimiter. This will lure that
alien into the perimiter and keep it from moving from side to side.
* Only use your plasma rifle for getting the aliens to begin to move and for
firing at the aliens when you are in a hallway and cannot get a good angle
on them. Othwerwise, use your M343 minigun or, if you can't use your M343
minigun, use your alien dual blaster to kill them.
* Refuel whenever your health or ammunition is at 50% or lower.
* Use your proximity mines sparingly because you never know when you will
really need them.
* Gather every suit of body armor which you find.
* Try to gain access to every secret room which is on the level which you are
on because these places are the key to your survival of this game.
* There is something about this game which IntraCorp, Inc. does not tell you
about in either their hint book or manual. What they don't tell you is that
you can use your visor to tell whether or not a computer offers you red or
blue access or whether or not it is just a computer which displays the
message "Intruder Alert". In order to make your visor tell you this, press
the key twice. After you have done this, if the computer displays
the message "Intruder Alert", its screen will have nothing on it.
* Note the locations of all Health Chambers, medic packs, and ammunition
stations which you run into so that you can more quickly find them when you
need them.
* Remember that your best ally is the element of surprise. Whenever you
are at an intersection of two or more hallways and you know that an alien is
just around the corner, turn yourself so that you are facing in that alien's
direction, press and hold down the key and press the arrow key which
will move you in the direction which will bring you to the point at which you
are facing that alien and then quickly fire. If you try this method, you
will find that it requires a great amount of speed to work completely.
* If you have gotten ahold of the floor plan, play the game from the proximity
map. This will prevent you from accidently moving into an area which is
full of aliens and having all of those aliens start up and fill you with
holes. If you don't have the proximity map, play the game from the screen,
spending a few seconds looking at the proximity map and a few seconds
looking at the screen.
* EGNever pick up adrenaline boosts or alien charge packs or use any
Health Chambers, medic pacs, or ammunition stations if you don't need to.HF
Save them for when you do need to. You will find that on the presidential
level, doing this can mean the difference between winning this game and
finding that winning this game is totally hopeless.
* Whenever your health and ammunition are at 100%, save your game. Save your
game at the beginning of each level and in tight situations, also.
* Whenever you don't have a floor plan, proceed through the level which you
are on with caution because you never know just what is around the next
corner. Proceeding this way is especially good when you are playing on the
presidential level.
* When playing on the presidential level, the Tymoks and Enirams seem
invincible, but they are not. Press the key and the left or right
arrow key (whichever one is needed to get out of the way of the projectiles
which their guns fire) twice while constantly firing at them and moving
backward.
