Burn Cycle

Burn Cycle

Submitted by: Dj Simo

At opening panel, pick up the computer helmet. You can use 
the helmet to check the map of the area. Turn around and 
shoot the guard. Make your way to the outer edge of the 
pathways, shooting guards (there are about 6 to shoot). 
Walk up to the door, watch scene. Look at bomb in your 
inventory, arm it, and place it on the door. Go backward 
about 2 screens and wait. After door opens, go through it 
and click on girl. Get credit card and key. Walk to vehicle. 
Open door with key. Once inside click on the destination map 
on the left. Move map target to bottom right. Back out of the 
map scene and click on Power, then System, then VPT. When you 
are flying away, shoot at the meteors. Don't worry about bullets, 
as they are unlimited. After landing, click on the vehicle top 
to open vehicle. Click on the back vehicle panel and take out 
the defective part. Once outside, turn around and go forward. 
Click left, then go forward 2 clicks. Enter building with Star 
on top of doorway. Clic!

k 2 times and enter pod. Insert card. This puzzle requires you 
to move the spinning v's until they are in "harmonic convergence". 
Essentially, you move each one around until the heads of the v's 
all enter the center of the circle at the same time. It's pretty 
easy really. Once you complete this puzzle, leave the building. 
Make your way to the building with the pink web design on the 
front. Go up the stairs. You are placed at the bar. Turn right, 
go straight, turn left, go straight, straight, and make your 
way down to the game arena. Go to the credit card machine. 
Insert card, remove card. This game is a bit harder. Once 
the shapes start flying at you, don't worry, you won't be 
killed. . This is just the way to select which shape to 
choose. This part freaked me out at first. Don't just 
indiscriminately start clicking. This will make you lose 
the game. Just click on any image to begin with. Then keep 
watching for another shape which will help you eventually 
make a triangle (l!
ike wait to click on a shape that is three away from your 
first select
ed shape). Once you have two shapes selected, you have to 
wait for the last shape to appear that will make you a 
triangle. That is it. If you lose, just go to the credit 
card machine and play again. You'll get the hang of it. 
After you have won, a mechanical servant will appear. 
Insert your card in him. If he doesn't appear, you need 
to go to the first room with the bar and try to talk to 
the guy who is lounged at the far end (named Zip). Next, 
make you way to the first room and go to the bar. Pick 
the prize that says "netware" or something like that 
(I remember it being the 4th from the left). Resist the 
urge to take the porno tape, as it doesn't do anything. 
Turn and make your way to Zip in the far corner. Get in 
the booth with zip. Insert your card in the machine in 
the booth with a swinging arm. Look at the incoming mail. 
After the message plays click on the message that says 
custom software. You should find Zip's address. Exit the 
machine. Click on Zip. Give him the Net!
ware prize. He will give you a decoder card and a strip of 
Band-Aids. Click on the Band-Aids in your inventory which 
will slow the virus. Get up. Walk forward. You will then 
enter a scene where you will be tossed a gun and required 
to shoot a couple of guys. After the shooting, the girl 
will give you a beeper. Be careful, because the hotel you 
need to get to next is kind of tricky to find. Go straight, 
left, straight (toward Memorex sign), straight, stop at car. 
Click beeper. After the scene, use the encryption algorithm. 
Insert the pink card into the device. Move the red arrows 
until you get to about the center of the screen. There will 
be a "1" in the top most circle. The code is 1965. Click on 
accessibility. Go to elevator. Click up, get off elevator. 
Go straight, straight, see scene, go right, straight. In 
room, make your way to the 3 switches at the back. Get close 
up of switches. There are 6 brown buttons on the right. Click 
the first button 7 times, click the 4th but!
ton 5 times, and the 6th button 11 times. This should open the door. 

Get the stuff. Turn around, move over to the panel to the right 
of the door. Don't open the door yet, or you will get shot. Open 
panel. Place green ball in panel. Smoke appears. This next visual 
puzzle is tricky and mostly annoying. You must click on the bottom 
arrow and move it with your cursor so that it aligns up with the 
top moving cursor. You will never make them meet, but when they 
are close, you will move forward. This puzzle offers nothing to 
the plot of the game, except for the annoying effect. You will 
be matching arrows for a couple of minutes at least. Once you 
are out, go back to see Zip. Give him the defective vehicle 
part, give him some cash, get new part. Once you are at the 
bottom of the building ramp, to get to your vehicle, go straight, 
straight (right of white box office windows, straight, left, 
straight. Click on the rear outside panel. Click Open. 
Insert part. Now is the hardest puzzle of the game. Might 
want to save game, not because you could die, but !
you will spend lots of time here, and once you know the 
trick, you can restore and complete the puzzle much quicker. 
It might take you several tries initially. You must bounce 
the light from the left port to all three other ports. This 
CAN be done with just one bouncer (the things you manipulate), 
but exact coordinates of positioning are almost impossible to 
give. First place two bouncers in the bottom right corner. 
Next, place the third bouncer about 1-1.5 inches to the left 
of center, and just a couple of millimeters down. You will 
have to experiment with it. This is hard, so don't worry. 
If it get to 100% damage, you will just get kicked out of 
the panel, and have to reclick on the panel to start the 
puzzle again. You lose nothing but time. I've done it with 
one bouncer, and all three, so try several ways if you get 
stuck. After you complete this puzzle, watch scene. Enter 
vehicle, set course for other map location. Shoot meteors 
(remember unlimited ammo, so blast away).!
 When you land at Doc's, get out and walk forward. See scene 
with Gala
Click on door. Move orange decoder to door. Click on button. 
This next puzzle is easy. You must place a few of the angles 
on the left on the board so that when you click a colored 
number, the colored line goes to the black box on the right 
and reads 100%. In order to explain this in text, we will 
have to define some things. The angles on the left will be 
"angles 1-4" from top to bottom. The grid spaces will be 
labeled 1-25 beginning with 1 in the top left, and ending 
with 25 in the bottom right. Here we go. Place angle 2 in 
grid space 11, then click the Red number 1. The third black 
box on the far right will read 100% now. Place angle 3in grid 7. 
Click the blue 2. Place angle 3 in grid 3 and click blue 3. 
Place angle 2 in grid 19. Click red 4. Place angle 4 in grid 16, 
and angle 2 in grid 21. Press green 4. There! Door should open 
now. Go down and see scene. After scene click on the gray 
holoscope. Insert green ball from inventory. Backup one step. 
Click on blue screen to !
right. Tweak arrow buttons until you see the special image. 
See scene. Enter Doc's exam room, watch exam scene and transfer 
to Teleburst scene. After the Chris scene you have 3 choices. 
Click on Comport. Talk to cube which says you need 3 pieces of 
your missing code. It gives you a passcode 001122. Click out 
(means click on segmented arrow at bottom). Click Cortex. Move 
to blue door in front of you. Enter code. Says it's incorrect. 
Don't worry, you'll still get in later. See scene with Doc. Go 
back to Comport, talk to cube, Click out. Go to Nirvana and 
enter the brown maze-like you see floating. Go in and select 
every possible picture, but make sure you select Dealy's picture
(the one that laughs). Click out. Return to Nirvana. Turn around. 
Go straight. Click on Buddah. This was where I stopped playing the 
game the first time. This puzzle completely baffled me. The second 
time, I found out the trick was to manipulate the blocks, then 
click on the top of the center post to se!
e what leaf lights up in red. Then you click that leaf. If you put 
the
blocks in right, you win, if not you die. I'd save your game here. 
Solution. Take all blocks off. Put medium block on bottom, and 
little block on top. Click post. Click leaf. Puzzle solved. 
Click out. Go to Comport. Talk to cube. Takes you to the Pulse. 
You need to keep clicking on the blob that moves around the pulse. 
After you destroy the blob, you get the first piece of your code. 
Go to Comport, talk to cube. Go to Cortex, see scene with Chris 
and see "third eye" on wall. Go to Nirvana and click on Buddah's 
forehead. You get the first piece of your code back. Go to Cortex. 
Watch scene with Chris and get last piece of code. Enter blue 
Cortex door. Move forward twice, watch scene with Vielli. Move 
forward twice. Save game. This last puzzle is a maze. You must 
move your little pointer on the right into the center without 
it hitting any of the brown or black dots. This isn't too hard. 
Just wait for the main path to be clear and move left. Take the 
second path down. Make your!
 way right to left on the lower half of the maze. Come up to 
the centerline on the far left and make your way to the center 
of the maze. Once you are in, the burncycle virus is eradicated. 
Watch scene. In your new body, go forward, see mirror. Click on 
red bar located on post on left. This will move an automatic arm 
to get you and take you down into one of the center pits. Turn 
right 3 times, click on the box located on the bottom left of 
your view. You will then get elevated up to the main floor. 
Make your way to the white door you originally came in, but 
save your game before you enter it. Watch scene. You will 
have to be quick after you shoot Deely. Two agents will 
appear at the door you are looking at. Shoot them both. 
Click forward twice. Click on sign post closest to you. 
Watch scene. End of game.
