Phozon/Walkthrough

Once you have inserted your coin into the cabinet of Namco's Japan-only 1983 arcade game Phozon and pressed the Start Button, the text "WORLD 1" shall appear at the top of the screen as the four Moleks in the centre of it fly off its left and right sides diagonally and the Chemic itself moves down to its starting position; the English text "STEP 1" will then appear at the top of the screen, with the Hiragana and Kanji text Kono katachi wo kansei seyo (この形を完成せよ) below it, before the area begins. Once you have duplicated the pattern shown in the centre of the screen, the Kanji text Kansei (完成) will be displayed at the top of the screen - and at the beginnings of the next two areas, the English texts "STEP 2" and "STEP 3" will appear at the top of the screen, again with the Hiragana and Kanji text Kono katachi wo kansei seyo (この形を完成せよ) below them, but it will be followed by another Kanji and Hiragana text, Taiatari seyo! (体当りせよ!), before the areas begin. After you have duplicated the pattern shown in the centre of the screen twice more, the Chemic shall move to the centre of the screen, and the English text "WORLD 1 CLEAR" will appear at the screen's top as all twelve Moleks that are currently adhered to the Chemic are absorbed by it; at the start of the fourth area, the English text "CHALLENGING STAGE" will appear at the top of the screen, followed by the three-script Japanese text of Botan wo ose (ボタンを押せ) as the Chemic moves back down to its starting position. The Atomic will then regenerate above the Chemic, and you must use the Reject Button to make the Chemic fire Yellow Moleks in four directions at the Atomic - and each of the Atomic's eight "balls" takes two hits to destroy (the first hit is worth 50 points, while the second is worth 100). The Chemic will also not lose a life if the Atomic attacks it in this area; however, if that happens, the area will immediately be over. If you manage to destroy all thirty-two of the Atomic's "balls" (as it regenerates three more times), the English text "PERFECT!" will appear at the top of the screen, and you will receive a 10000-point bonus.
