ECLIPSE
by Laurence Creighton (Zenobi Software)
This is an interesting game, though made somewhat tedious by needing to recharge
your remote (RCU). So don't waste moves! Hence this walkthrough is somewhat
condensed. Feel free to explore the elevator area more and recharge your RCU when
needed. Don't get caught on the other floors with a dead battery!
Don't carry the 30 kg weight too long.
Don't charge the RCU while you're wearing it.
You have been selected to save the earth, but you need to do a lot to get yourself
ready for this.
