Orion Prime Hints
Welcome to Orion Prime, a vast planet covered with oceans of molten lava. The human colony on the planet developed a way to convert lava into spaceship fuel. They were brutally massacred by alien invaders who then stole their technology. A fuel transport ship will soon arrive to take the fuel to the alien fleet, making them unstoppable. It could mean the extermination of humanity.
Before you can get to the fuel ship, you'll have to complete the first level mission: Infiltrate High Command and wipe out the aliens who attacked our base. Then terminate the Lava Boss himself.
The second level mission is to stop the fuel from reaching the enemy fleet. We're doomed if the alien fuel ship uploads the fuel from the magma conversion center, unless you can destroy the ship.
To help you space marines accomplish your mission objectives, this secret dossier lists some of the most difficult areas. Hints and answers are given if specifically requested.
No experienced Duker should need these hints. However, some of you recruits fresh out of boot camp might.
Topics covered:

- Help for surviving onslaughts
- Hints for puzzles and problems
- Location of secret areas

Vent Answer
Look up and find another vent tunnel near the far end of the water stream.
Go to the far end where the vent reaches a dead end. Move all the way to the end, then back up a few feet until you get to the corner. Turn around and look up, and you'll see the tunnel.

There's a rifle inside the garbage can behind one of the crates. Shoot the can and the rifle will fall out. There's also an extra bottle of health hiding on top of one of the crates.

There are two alien troopers nearby. Shoot them and you'll see a vertical hole in the cave. The explosion button can be seen through the hole. Stand back and fire at the button.

Wine Cellar Answer
In the chapel, there are goggles that will let you see in the dark. In the wine cellar, type N to turn them on. They will help you find the light switch: at the bottom of the stairs, turn right and go about 2 feet. Then turn to the right until you see the dim switch. Move around very slowly or you'll walk under the wine press!

Riddle Hint
Riddles often speak symbolically. For example, the object isn't literally a firefly. However in some real sense it is like a firefly or a ball (depending on where it is, and how far away).

Assault Commander Hints
If you stand in front of the commanders, their fire will blow up a couple of themselves. Then you can turn off the force field long enough to hide in the storage room. But there isn't anything you can do in that room. Or is there?

Yellow Card Hints
The card is in the front of the ship. You'll need to deal with the 12-button switches first.
If you're stuck, there's a escape tube indicated by an arrow, somewhere in the computer room.

Riddle Answer
The answer is sun, which keeps a steady schedule, and whose light breaks through your window.
From a distance, it flickers like a firefly. Up close, it's a powerful ball of energy.

Combination Answer
The combinations are on display screens. Go to the computer room near the yellow card reader. Jump on top of the computers until you see the UP arrow. Jump over the arrow, through the fake wall. It leads to a blue tube, then a red tube, then the room where the security code combinations are written.

Assault Commander Answer
Turn off the force field and run into the junk-filled storage room. One of the C-9's will blow a hole through the wall. It leads back to the force field switch. Turn the force field back on. Go back to the hole and into the storage room. Now that the force field is on, you can now go past the assault commanders which are behind the force field. Keep moving, to avoid the missiles that explode nearby. They have a hard time hitting a moving target.
