LEVEL 1: The 3 reactors depicted by heavy machinery at the right of 
the screen must be destroyed to gain entrance to the next level. 

LEVEL 2: You must explore this level and find the entrance to the 
snake brothers lair.

LEVEL 3: The lair itself; On entering this level you will notice that 
one of the snake brothers (Jim) has escaped, however, you must kill 
the remaining brother in order to complete the game. On the C64 version 
your auto pilot and combat computers will kick-in at this point, you 
can sit back and watch Quintin get what he rightly deserves.

torpedos and fifteen high power impact mines. You may also collect:
