ON THE RUN
(Design Design)


THE SCENARIO
Your name is Rick Swift, a troubleshooter hired by the Defence
Department for dangerous missions. In your latest mission you must
enter a deadly area which has been affected by an unfortunate accident
involving experiments in chemical warfare. Strange and weird mutations
of the plant and animal life in the area have occurred, the animals
becoming deadly to the touch.

YOUR MISSION
Contained within the mazes are still six flasks of the dangerous
chemicals which will become active in one hour. Your mission is to
collect all the flasks before this happens. Because of the lethal
nature of the chemicals you have been equipped with a protective suit,
complete with a jet-pack to rapidly move you around the mazes which
you must explore. However, this suit requires energy and this energy
depletes if you come into contact with a mutant. If your energy
reaches zero you will die due to exposure to the deadly chemicals.
Spread throughout the mazes are various objects which may be used to
your advantage; careful experimentation is required!
