The 2nd Red Planet
back to the Red Planet page
Here are 2 screen captures for the 2nd Red Planet - 2nd Solar System - Positive Gravity/Visible landscape. They show:
The planet upon entry. You have 21 seconds to activate the Reactor Link and exit the Red Planet.
Shoot the Reactor Link. * The 8 red bunkers only become visible and active once the Reactor Link is activated - so you must contend with on the trip out.

| Tunnel entry |
Reactor Link Activated |
Quick Advice:
A: If you can position yourself to shoot the Reactor Link from near the final bunker, then turn quick and shoot the bunker when it appears
B: Shoot for the Reactor Link, and if you have a good idea that you will hit it, start heading back out immediately, and don't even deal with the final bunker (just leave it).
** BE PREPARED TO USE YOUR SHIELDS ALMOST THE ENTIRE TRIP OUT OF THE SPIRAL. You might not need to do so, but BE PREPARED, just the same - and shoot like crazy at the bunkers from a long way off. If you are lucky and skilled you will destroy them before you get to them (makes it much easier.) If you can get to the final turn up (just past the 2nd turret in the tunnel) consider Maximum Thrust at that point to get out of the tunnel and past the last turret.
Control of the ship in the Spiral Tunnel is difficult at best, even without 8 gun turrets attempting to BLOW YOU UP!
