Wow. It's been a long time, eh? Yea... Anyway, now that it's break time, I'll
just write up a quick walkthrough for Mission: Asteroid. I've actually been 
meaning to do this for the past 2 or 3 years or so, but never actually gotten
around to doing it. Ah well. Time to get started, before I find something 
better to do. Like working on my other FAQs, which I _should_ be doing now.
But hey, it's break time for Secret of Monkey Island. I might as well spend
my break doing something productive. ^_^

It's a pretty simple game. All you've gotta do is get to the asteroid and 
blow it up. All you've gotta do to get there is type in commands. I think you
can handle that, so I'll just move on. I don't really have much time and all.
I should be working on something else.

YOU ARE IN FRONT OF A BUILDING.
--------------- ENTER COMMAND?

That's your basic command screen. Just type. Then press enter. Also, basic
words like prepositions and articles and stuff don't matter. So instead of 
saying "Talk to the secretary" you can just say "Talk secretary." And to go
in any given direction, just type the first letter of the direction. Like N
for north and D for down.

|   .:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.    3.  Walkthrough    .:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.   |
+ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +

You'll start out standing in front of a building. Hm... Open the door. Oop.
As soon as you do that, your watch will start beeping. Look at it. You'll see
a switch. Well, generally when I see switches, I push them. So push the 
switch, get your orders, memorize the password, then go through the door.

That blob of a creature behind the desk is a secretary. Talk to her, then say
the password (Starstruck). When you're allowed to pass, go north, then west.
You'll run into another person, this time a general. Salute him, and he'll
give you your instructions. Anyone else catching vibes of Armageddon? Now we
know where they got the idea for that movie. Well, probably not. But still...

Go east twice, then grab the disk and put the disk into the drive. You'll get
your flight plans. Write these down. Or look here. They are as follows:

- Right for 10 minutes
- Up for 5 minutes
- Left for 15 minutes
- Down for 5 minutes
- Left for 5 minutes
- Up for 10 minutes

Go east, and get the explosives. Then go east again. Look at all the pretty
exercise equipment! Use it. Then go east yet again, and take a shower, ya 
scummy astronaut.

When you're fully clothed again, go west, north, and north again. Talk to the
doctor, and tell him you're good. Although the proper grammatical statement
would be well, you'll have to say good. Anyway, that was one heckuva 
professional checkup. Open the door and go west, north, and up. You'll end up 
in front of a big orange rocket. Push the button and go in. 

Push the blue button and go north. Then push the violet button, and read the 
sign. It tells you how to operate the rocket. The controls are as follows:

- Push throttle for liftoff
- Pull throttle to land
- Push white button to move left
- Push black button to move right
- Push orange button to move up
- Push blue button to move down

Well, no more preparations needed. Push the throttle to take off. In a matter 
of seconds, you're orbitting the Earth. Push the white button twice. You're 
in space. Ain't it purty?

Push the orange button twice, and you'll be orbitting the asteroid. Pull back
on that there throttle, and you're rarin' and ready to go. So go west, get 
the space suit, and put the snazzy outfit on. Then go east, push the violet 
button to reopen the door, and go south. Set the timer to 150, and turn the 
dial. When that's done, push the orange button, and go south.

Go down, south, west, and into the cave. Go south and drop the explosives into
the pit, the go north twice, south once, and north once more. Then go up 
and through the door.

Push the blue button, turn the dial, and go north. Hit the violet button, 
then push the throttle. You'll soon be orbitting the asteroid. Hit the blue 
button twice, the black button twice, and the white button once. Then pull 
back on the throttle,  and congratulations.

If you have found this document anywhere else or are at some other site that 
foolishly forgot to remove the copyright information, contact the author.

Contact the author if:
    You want to use this document on your site, in your magazine, or 
       anywhere else. Sorry, this doesn't apply to those of you without
       domain names. See below for why. But if you do, give it a shot. Unless
       I have a personal reason for not doing it, I'll probably give you 
       permission to post my stuff on your site. 

    You want to report an error. I'm not perfect, my computer isn't perfect,
       and chances are, my proofreading isn't perfect. So if I did, said, 
       wrote, or anything else something wrong, do be kind enough to drop me
       a line about it.

    You've seen this document anywhere other than the sites listed 
       above. This is the one surefire way to get on my good side...

    You want to ask a question that IS NOT FOUND IN THE GUIDE. 

    You want to praise the author and/or offer tokens of high    
       monetary value. I have an Amazon wishlist, if you're interested...

    You want to flame the author for absolutely no reason other than 
       the sick pleasure it gives you. So far, only one person has taken me 
       up on this offer. Where are the rest of you? I know you want to...

    You found something that the author missed and you want to tell her 
       about it. This only works if It's in a part of the game covered by the 
       guide.

    You want to worship the author and build a shrine for her. (Hey, why 
       not? I might as well let people do this, since they seem to want to 
       anyway...What, you want to use me for a human sacrifice? AAAAAahhh!)

    You want to make a suggestion that you feel will help make the author, 
       the world, and/or this guide a better person, place, and/or thing. I 
       probably won't take it, though...I don't think the same way the rest 
       of you do.

    Your pants are on fire and you want to borrow a fire extinguisher. Only 
       one person has asked for this, too...

    You're a really cool person who knows how to spell and speak relatively 
       decent English (or Russian or Spanish) and you want to be my friend. 

    You speak perfect English and perfect any-other-language and want to 
       translate this sucka for me. Perfection isn't really a requirement, 
       merely a preference. As long as you're fluent, I'm cool with it.


DO NOT Contact the author if:
    Your website does not have a domain. Sorry, but I hate keeping track of 
       tiny personal archives that only get 2 hits per day. If you're getting  
       more, good for you, and ask me again when you're a multi-millionaire 
       with a domain name. For you internet illiterates out there, that means 
       you own the .com or .net or .org or .co.uk or .tv or .ru or .whatever 
       name. Not some cheesy hosting service like Geocities or Angelfire.

    You want to help the author with the guide. Yes, I appreciate the 
       thought, but unless I missed something major, like a boss battle or  
       something, I really don't need (or want) your assistance. It's 
       annoying to open your inbox and find 15 emails from people wanting to 
       help and 5 more with people who have already assumed their help is 
       wanted and have therefore sent poorly spaced and atrociously spelled 
       partial walkthroughs for parts of the game that are either covered 
       already or I haven't reached yet. When I'm ready to accept help from  
       the rest of you, I'll ask.

    She has a headache. Stupid emails (and even moderately intelligent ones)
       make headaches worse, which leads to mean emails and flaming. Don't do
       it. It's a big, big, no no. And remember, the mood is posted up there,
       so you might want to check it before emailing me. I generally keep the
       same mood for a few days, unless something extreme happens, but if it
       does, chances are, I won't be checking my email, anyway. 

    You have nothing intelligent to say. "I finished the game before you. 
       Nyah." is not intelligent, and I'll have to delete it. Sorry.


If you have reason to contact me for anything other than those circumstances 
stated on the allowed list, your email will be read, laughed at, and deleted. 
Or maybe just deleted. The same actions will be taken if you ask a question 
that is answered within the guide. And don't be surprised if I don't reply to 
you immediately. I get lots of email every day, and I try to answer all of 
it, but things sometimes get out of hand.

If you contact me with something from the no-no list, I'll probably reply and 
call you a dirty name that you won't want to repeat to the younguns (Lord of 
the Flies!), then be generally surly and mean to you until I forget about 
your entire existence. Then I'll just treat you like everyone else, until you 
make me mad again.
