## Description
_Zox 2099_ describes a rescue mission of an intergalactic hero on his way to
set free four hostages of the planet Hullm from clutches of Zox asteroid.
The game combines two modes of gameplay. One of them is a spacecraft shooting
arcade, and another is a labyrinth crawler. First of all, the player should
fight in the space, destroy all encountered enemy ships, and finally arrive on
the huge asteroid. It is achieved with a shooting at the ships and their
missiles while showing the direction for each shot. Numerous damages of the
player’s ship lead to the game over.
After the asteroid is reached, the player enters its labyrinth fortress with
20 rooms. Here the player should move from room to room, searching for
transition spots. In each room the walls should be examined to find the secret
passages with attempts to move the fragments of these walls. Also some
switches can be toggled to open the doors or remove the electric barriers.
Enemies are guarding the corridors, and they should be avoided or neutralized
for a limited time with a gun. If enemy guard will reach the player, the
player is moved to the starting point of the labyrinth. There are four
hostages to find.
Once all the hostages are found, the player should flight back to his home
planet in the same spacecraft shooting arcade.
