EXOLON Hewson 1987 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AIM : As a heavily armed humanoid, you blast, battle, bound, and blunder your way through a world infested with alien attackers released from birth pods, homing missiles, accelerating space lice, exploding mines and dangerous hydraulic plungers. GAMEPLAY : You carry a blaster to destroy the aliens and rocket- propelled grenades to blow up static objects such as machinery, guns and boulders. For additional safety, you can gain an exoskeleton by entering a suiting unit and pressing up. This is invulnerable to many aliens and has a dual-shot blaster but using the suit means that at the end of a level, you'll have a much smaller bravery bonus. COMMENTS : "A well-presented traditional shoot-em-up with plenty to do and look at with plenty to do and look at". RATING : 90% (CRASH #43, August 1987) NOW : A nicely done and quite tough shoot-em-up that is still an enjoyable game to play. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KEYS : Redefinable
