## Description
_Proteus + Android Pit Rescue_ is a compilation of 2 games that belong to the
sci-fi genre.
_Proteus_ was originally published as part of this compilation and _Android
Pit Rescue_ originally as part of Games Pack 1.
### Proteus
_Proteus_ is a shoot’em-up game where strategy is a fundamental factor in the
development and main goals of the game.
It takes place in a quadrant of an enemy galaxy which is divided by a matrix
of sectors covered in planetary debris and patrolled by hostile
extraterrestrial entities.
In each of the sectors located near the corners of the quadrant there are 4
transmitters that are part of the enemy’s communications system.
The main goal is to destroy the transmitters and clear a specific path made
out of a straight chain of sectors, removing the dangers of the planetary
debris and the attacks of the enemy spaceships. This will allow the drone’s
armada to pass through the quadrant and reach the planet where the debris is
orbiting safely.
The drone the player commands is entitled _Proteus_ (Deep Space Pilotless
Probe) and it has two types of weapons: guided missiles and linear Photons.
_Proteus_ is also armed with a booster allowing the player to escape in
critical situations if correctly navigated.
There are several strategic factors which have to be taken into account as the
limits of fuel and missiles, the use of debris as shields and the conjugation
of weapons allowing the use of diversion tactics.
A map of the quadrant can also be viewed, allowing the identification of
sectors patrolled by alien ships (magenta), the localization of the
communication transmitters (yellow), the sectors and the path the drone’s
armada shall pass through (pointed horizontally by two arrows in green located
in each opposite extremities of the map) and the debris in each sector that is
obstructing the passage.
On each of the sectors that is already devoid of enemy ships or cleansed of
them, the player has to be very careful because potentially or in a short
period of time a hunting alien ship will appear and it will relentlessly
launch guided missiles against the player’s drone.
As soon as the player has concluded both objectives and lost all of his
drones, the game is over and the mission is complete.
### Android Pit Rescue
In _Android Pit Rescue_ the player commands an android that was created to
save trapped miners from the mines of the planet _Zarqon_ in the event of
flooding.
There are constant fluxes of water which may flood and freeze certain parts of
the mine maze paths. The miners and the android wear safe suits and are
protected from the waves of water if standing still, but although the android
is coated with a special repellant he still cannot move in water without being
destroyed.
To succeed in his task the android has to rescue all the miners by carrying
them one by one to the surface which is represented by the upper part of the
screen.
