Well, here's one under the help getting started column. Still trying to
decide if the game and I are meant for each other.

Checking out various FAQS and walkthroughs to help me get started in the
2nd area, the Unforseen Consequences. Need to get a sense of how the
game works and hit a wall that totally zonked me. For those who remember
this early level, I'll cut to the chase -- you hop up on the fallen
computers and through the AC vent into an area with two rooms -- one has
a guy in it you can see fighting ? with an alien. The second room opens,
revealing an alien in the chair. The only way from there is a locked
door that won't open.

So, the second room is no problem. The room where I see the scientist
won't open but a crack. The doorway won't open to allow me to go on from
there. All the FAQ/Walkthroughs I see go into some enthusiastic riff
about a metal door on your right, a ladder that goes up, shooting
cylindars, etc.

That layout is *no*where to be found.

Any suggestions or specifics are appreciated. Once I get on frequency
with this thing it looks good, but I"m a long way from that point.

Best,

DrM
