SuperTed: The Search for Spot/Walkthrough

You first have to connect your Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC or Commodore 64 (and cassette recorder) to your television set, then switch all three of them on; you will then have to place the cassette of Alternative Software's Enigma Variations-developed 1990 action game SuperTed: The Search for Spot into the cassette recorder, rewind it (unless, of course, it is your first time) and start it, type LOAD "" (without leaving a space between the quotation marks), and press Enter to load the program into the console. Once it has loaded, you must press either Q for "easy" mode, or A for "hard" mode.

Level 1

At the start of the game, Texas Pete will drive away from SuperTed's treehouse (with Spotty in the boot of his car); when SuperTed emerges, press P to make him start flying to the right as you come up to a Missile that is emerging from the ground. Once you have punched it away, a Helicopter and two Bombs will come flying towards you - and once you have punched all three of them away you will come to two more Missiles that are emerging from the ground. Once you have punched both of these away, you will come to Skeleton, operating a cannon; once you have punched him, he will put up a white flag and move on to his next cannon. Eight more Helicopters shall then come flying towards you - and once you have punched each of these away, you shall come to two more Missiles, that are emerging from the ground. Once you have punched both of these away, you shall come to Skeleton operating another cannon; once you have punched him, he will put up a white flag, and move on to his next cannon. You will then come to four more Missiles that are emerging from the ground - and, once you punch all of them away, a Vulture and an Autogiro will come flying towards you. Once you have punched both of them away you will come to two more Missiles that are emerging from the ground; once you have punched both of these away, you will come to Skeleton operating a third cannon. Once you have punched him, he shall put up a white flag and move on to his next cannon - and a Bat will then come flying towards you. Once you have punched him away you shall come to two more Missiles that are emerging from the ground; once you have punched both of them away, four more Helicopters will come flying towards you. Once you have punched all of them away you will come to Bulk who is bouncing up and down in front of you with his spring-loaded boots - and once you have punched him away, you will come to two more Missiles that are emerging from the ground. Once you have punched both of them away, you will come up to Skeleton, operating a fourth cannon; once you have punched him, he will put up a white flag and move on to his next cannon. Four more Helicopters will then come flying towards you - and once you have punched each of them away, you will come to two more Missiles that are emerging from the ground. Once you have punched both of them away, six more Autogiros will come flying towards you; once you have punched all of these away, you shall come up to three more Missiles that are emerging from the ground. Once you have punched all of them away, a second Vulture, an eighth Autogiro and a second Bat will come flying towards you - and once you have punched each of these away, you will come to two more Missiles, that are emerging from the ground (you will also start catching up with Texas Pete's car at this point). Once you have punched both of these away, six more Vultures will come flying towards you; once you have punched each of these away, three more Bombs will come flying towards you. Once you have punched each of these away, you will come to Skeleton, operating a fifth cannon - and once you have punched him, he'll put up a white flag, and move on to his next cannon. You will then come to three more Missiles that are emerging from the ground; once you have punched each of them away, you will come to Bulk, again. Once you have punched him away again, you will come to a twenty-sixth Missile, that is emerging from the ground - and once you've punched it away, a third Vulture, a ninth Autogiro, and four more Bats will come flying towards you. Once you've punched all of these away, you'll come to two more Missiles (which are emerging from the ground); once you have punched both of them away, you shall come to Bulk once again. Once you have punched him away, for a third time, you will come to two more Missiles that are emerging from the ground - and once you've punched both of them away, you will come to Skeleton who is wielding a club. You must punch him eight times while ducking under his club, to defeat him for 2000 points; once you have done so, the spaceship Skeleton was standing in front of will take off.
