Description
2D Levels game based on the famous Dan Dare comic character created by Frank Hampson.
Plot
Dan was appearing on "This Is Your Life", all of his friends were there to speak glowingly of his achievements, but as Dan moved forward to speak, the screen went blank and then slowly the evil green face of the Mekon appeared. An Astroid was heading for the Earth, either the powers that be gave in, and announced him as commander of the universe, or the earth was destroyed.
Dan has decided that Professor Peabody and Digby should keep the Anastasia in orbit and out of danger, while he is lowered down on a rope to go and investigate. However unknown to Dan and his friends their arrival had been closely monitored by the Treens, the Mekon's faithful followers. No sooner had he left the ship than he was attacked. Luckily there was a discarded laser lying nearby, Dan rolled to it and picked it up, one shot and the Treen lay dead. There was now no time to loose, he must stop the evil Mekon's plan.
Dan will encounter Treens, mounted wall guns and other hazards, if he is injured by any of these his energy will be sapped, if it reaches zero he will fall unconscious. Should this happen or should he come into contact with a Treen, he will be captured. Fortunately the prisons door are not well secured and Dan will have little difficulty to open them. However he will lose vital time finding his way back through the maze.
The Mekon has left a self-destruct mechanism active, in case Earth should give in to his demands. Dan must find the five parts that are scattered throughout the complex and take them, one by one, to the control room. This is easily recognised as it has five empty sockets. When you put a part into the correct socket it starts to glow. When the last part is in place, Dan must quickly make his way to the surface where his friends are waiting in the Anastasia.
