Nova Walkthrough by Alex Dijkstra for the Amstrad (note down the message with the codes ALPHA, GAMMA, BETA and OMEGA. you will need these codes later on),DROP COVERALL, EMPTY POCKET, DROP SILVER (this is a bug if you do not empty the pocket before leaving the LU you are killed because the game thinks you have two identcards although you did drop the coverall and are not carrying the silver one), GET BRACELET, WEAR BRACELET (it becomes a minicom need to examine things), S, E, GET ROD, EXAMINE ROD (6 shots), E, STAND ON ELEPAD, GET GOLD, EXAMINE GOLD (you read the code AAAJWA), STAND ON ELEPAD, S, READ NEWSPAPER, STAND ON ELEPAD, GET GLASSES, STAND ON ELEPAD, W, STAND ON ELEPAD, GET TOKEN, EXAMINE TOKEN (the word moonpass is written on it), STAND ON ELEPAD, W, MOVE BEAM, STAND ON ELEPAD, GET BOARD, STAND ON ELEPAD, E, AAAJWA (the code you read on the card), INSERT TOKEN (20 points), IN, READ BOOK, SIT, LEAVE, N, GET SPACESUIT, WEAR SPACESUIT, STAND ON ELEPAD (can only be done when you are wearing the spacesuit), LIE ON COUCH, CLIMB DOWN, N, S, SWITCH ON GLASSES (you can now see in the dark. on the other side of the airlock all locations are dark. I f you walk around for 5 turns in the dark you will be shot by a cyborg), PRESS RED (airlock depressurises), PRESS BLUE (the doors open), IN PRESS BLUE (the door closes), PRESS PURPLE (airlock pressurises), PRESS BLUE (inner door opens), IN, DROP SPACESUIT (note that although you are no longer wearing the spacesuit, the graphics remain like you are still wearing it), E. Save your game because in rooms 33-41 and 56-64 you have a random chance of being attacked by a cyborg (see my map on CASA for the roomnumbers). Your rod has energy for only 3 shots, therefore you should collect the power pack first which gives energy for 50 shots. When you are attacked by a cyborg you must not leave the room or else you will be shot. If your rod has no more energy left you also will be shot. Use the command FIRE ROD to shoot at the cyborg. The fights are also random. When you FIRE ROD you have a chance from 1 out of 6 that you miss the cyborg. When you miss the cyborg there is a chance from 1 out of 6 that the cyborg shoot you. After you have destroyed 8 cyborgs you get the message all cyborgs have been destroyed. After a succesful fight save your game. Because the attacks are random I haven't included them in below part of the walkthrough. Just make sure you have destroyed al 8 cyborgs before you ignite the bomb (If not and you encounter a cyborg while trying to escape the bomb you have to little time to make it out alive). You can walk around or just stay in one of the above mentioned rooms to encounter the cyborgs as every turn there is a random chance of being attacked.
