CRITICAL MASS By The Maniac. NOTES: The commands that you type are inside the "" marks. The rest are comments to help you follow along. At times it may seem that you could skip many of the sequences and save yourself lots of time. Unfortunately, as in Escape From Rungistan, future events depend a great deal upon what you do in the beginning. Even with this feature Critical Mass can be played all the way through in under half an hour (depending on how good you are at water skiing). ON WITH THE ADVENTURE!!!

This is the hardest part of the whole adventure and i suggest that you save the game here. you only get one chance before your connecting flight leaves at 13:00 for San Juan. You now have to water ski around the buoys. Use the right and left arrows and the space bar to stop. If you lose on your first attempt (I'm sure you will) you must restore the game you just saved. The best help that I can give you is to tell you that you only have to clear the leading tip of the buoy and can cut back as soon as it starts to pass. sounds easy you say? go for it!!! "CALL GIDGET" :good luck :when you complete the course you win a nifty beach towel. Big wow!
