ALIEN VIRUS - Version 1.97
Walkthrough and Secrets Guide

Alien Virus is one of the coolest games I ever played. The plot may suck, but the graphics and the vast amount of items you can collect astound me.
The backgrounds are excellent and the sound is terrific. Plus, if your good, you can beat the game in 40 minutes, which I like if I just want a quick, fun adventure.
I stress to write to me if you don't understand something, for I hate it, personally, when I'm stuck somewhere when I'm using an inaccurate walkthrough, so, always ask questions.
I'm not going to make an acknowledgments, or, "Well Done Man!" list. I love it when people write to me to say how good my FAQ was, or how bad it sucked, but those words are just for my eyes, and I thank you for your criticism.

FORWARDS
=========
Alien Virus has taken over my life. I play it almost every day I can, just looking for new things. Of course, it got boring, so I got addicted to the
Resident Evil series, then I decided, after Alvin C WebCraft's excellent RE3
Nemesis FAQ inspired me, to go the final step and write a walkthrough for one of my favorite PC games.
Anyway, in Alien Virus, you are Joshua Stone, a man sent to deliver some equipment to a faraway space-base called Zeus. By coincidence, Joshua's girlfriend, Cara Oceana, works as a genetic researcher at Zeus, and they plan to get together and go back to Earth. For Joshua, the trip lasts a month, and he'll be frozen for twenty seven days. Everything is going fine, but when Josh lands in Zeus' hangar bay, it's deserted and darkƒ?Ý
Even though there's not much more to it than that, you'll have to find out as you go. Alien Virus is a quick little jaunt to collect items and save your girlfriend. Don't worry, there's more, but like I said, you'll have to find that out for yourself.
THE INTERFACE
==============
The Interface of Alien Virus is very simple, but I highly stress that beginners read this section so, not only do you remember it, but do you don't accidentally think the right mouse button is Examine and left mouse is open door and you go and get yourself copped up by the fans in the ventilation shafts. Oh, and you didn't know how to saveƒ?Ý
