The main menu

The high score screen with its default set of scores

The game configuration screen allows the player to use speakers or the PC speaker, keyboard or joystick. Action keys are not configurable

The instructions option from the menu gives the back story and the action keys. The keys are used in the tunnels differ from those used in the breeding caverns

The game starts with a very, very short animated sequence that shows our hero dropping into the tunnels

The start of tunnel 1

Zooming along the tunnels blasting bugs

Retrox flashes red when bitten by a bug or shot by an overhead cannon

Too much damage and the player loses a life. That's when this graphic is displayed. It shows a gash in Retrox' arm allowing namless pathogens to enter or perhaps it's just blood escaping

When all lives have been lost it's game over. What's the Stig doing saving the world?

Got through level one!

You enter the second level...

...and take off your jetpack.

Trying to blow up the turret, but I should aim better!

Don't walk into explosive barrels! Except the controls are so clunky that you do, anyway.

Trying to take care of the barrels from afar.

Oh look, a humanoid that shoots lasers from eyes! (and has a peg leg) Weren't we supposed to be fighting mutated insects? have insects mutated into dudes like this?

You can use a grappling hook to get up ledges like this.

Another CCTV turret shooting projectiles that you can only blow up when standing directly below it. I think I'm done here.
