Mind Control

Mind Control is a single screen game split into two parts where your
mission is to destroy Zyco, an indestructible alien who is ruling Earth and
enslaving all humans. Scientists realising that Zyco can’t be destroyed, have
worked out that his only weak spot would be the massive sensory neurone in his
brain and so have selected you to be shrunk to enter his bloodstream to move
around his brain before destroying the neurone with a laser. The first part of
the game is a platformer where you must get from the bottom right of the
screen and climb stairs at each end of the three levels that make up the
screen to get to Zyco’s brain. Trying to stop you are people and these have to
be jumped or if you touch them, then you lose one of three lives. At the top
of the screen is a Miniaturising Room where you are shrunk before you enter
the brain.

The second part of the game has you viewing the brain from the side and you
have to make your way from the bottom of the screen to the centre of the brain
following a path. As you move around the brain there are white blood
corpuscles and anti-bodies following a set path and these must be avoided or
you increase in size and a life is lost. The walls that make up the path also
make you grow if touched so these have to be avoided as well. Once you reach
the center and destroy the neurone you then keep attempting to move around the
brain over various levels where the enemies get faster.

The ACE release doesn’t have the first platform part of the game, just the
moving around the brain part.
