Technical questions:
- Can I trust Activision and play the game without any patches ?
Nope. Don't even think about playing it without the official patch
to at least v1.01. In a later level the game will fuck up.
- Hey, can't I install the patch later, I will need a few days to
get to the critical level ...
Nopes, after the patching the save games don't work anymore!
- Any more technical bugs ?
Yeah, make sure you have the latest Win95/98 drives for your
soundcard, because you need them to run the game with good sound.
Especially Soundblaster/PCI owners should follow this.
Gameplay FAQ:
Note: This game is quite linear, but only quite ... there are a few
levels that have various exits depending on your choice and on your
mission success. I have played these games a few times to find
all the secrets (a goal I have not reached I must admit) and I found
out that there are a few levels that will not be played, if you choose
certain exits.
Level: Over Freeport City Bank
Nothing unsolvable here.
Level: Freeport City Bank
- Where is the key for the "EMPLOYEES ONLY" room ?
Move up the escalator, leave on the other side, enter the next room.
The key can be found on the table.
- How do get into the SECURITY room ?
Break the window next to the door and jump in.
- What is the safe combination ?
This varies. You will find the right combination for it on the
computer in the room behind the SECURITY room.
- How can I unlock the security doors ?
Also at the computer mentioned above.
- Are there any easter eggs in this level ?
Sure. In the SECURITY you will find a poster of the employee of
the month. Looks like Monica Lewinsky if you ask me.
In the well you will find a coin. Use it with the telephone.
At the security computer use BLADE on account information. It will
give you the account # and PIN for the ATM at the startingpoint
of the level.
Even better: Use SINCLAIRE on the ATM and wire punds to Blade's
account.
You can stop the escalator with press the red button.
Open questions:

of the safes near the exit ?

rock to avoid the waves of the explosion. You are safe in the room

your tasks. So don't kill them. They will open up the tubes for
you. And you only have ONE chance. Use it.

Well, survive it. You see the numbers in front of the tubes ?

the reward will be endless fire power. Afterwards get back to the
lab. Your next level is "Xenomorphic Laboratory".

Answered by Firebat 2000:
I found one little thing about it...when you're describing Elexis Estate
part2, you mention an open question :"You have fallen into the trap. There
is a power switch. What is this good for ?" When you use the action key
on it, it disables the carpet trap because of which u have fallen down.

Some comments by Firebat_2000, nazarov@mbox.infotel.bg:
And I found a way in which u don't have to fight Eon & Peon...not even
go to the waterworks...Here it is:
Level: Freeport Dam.When u get to the place where a copter comes in, just
shoot it down with some rockets. Then go to the opposing side (where you
can see 2 guards on a table beneath you ), you just have to jump down
and kill'em. Then get the card, which is on the table and enter the door
nearby.Proceed forward to a big room with 2 turbines in it.there are 2
buttons (red).Press them and u'll stop the turbines before 2 chemicals
have mixed....and that's it.After it you go directly to the Oilrig.
