Derelict (Aardvark) ------------------- In this game you encounter alien language in some descriptions. It is just the alphabet in the opposite order, a=z, b=y, c=x, etc. When you get the phaser you can blast the droids. However the chance of success is just 2/3. So you might have to try it several times. The droids will also fire their laser beams on you. In case they hit you you will have to start the game over again.
