I've played SS1 Classic many times, and I love it. Being an adventure fan, I always set the puzzles & plot high, and the combat to 0.

Now, for the first time, I'm playing the Enhanced version (after turning off the annoying mouselock).

*POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD*

I've reached Level 5. I can't progress until I fire the laser on Level 2. In order to do that, I need to flip Laser Safety Override on Level R, use isotope in shield generator, then return to Level 2 to fire the laser (in the middle section). Shodan usually doesn't like that, and sends her soldiers to "greet" me, when I enter the middle section on Level 2. However, this time, the soldiers don't appear. And when I press the button to fire the laser... Shodan thanks me for helping her.

What's gone wrong? I used the isotope in shield generator, flipped laser override, and did everything as I would normally. So why didn't the soldiers show up when I go back to Level 2?

Is this a bug in the Enhanced version? Is there a way round it?

Weird.. I didn't have any problems getting past this in the Enhanced version (although i did press the button the first time without doing anything else which resulted in such a great moment, even though it is actually the worst thing one can do in the whole game).

Are you sure you aren't forgetting something? Let's see again what you're supposed to do as per this mission's log:

1. You find the X-22 in Level 2 (southwest)
2. You use it on the panel at Shield Generator on Level R (southwest).
3. You punch the Laser Override Code (199) on Level R (west)
4. You fire the Laser on level 2.

I'm an idiot!

I used the X22 isotope in Shield Generator... then forgot to pull the switch next to it.

Thankyou very much for your help. ( :



EDIT: And yeah, pushing the shield button on Level 2 without doing anything else, is a wonderful moment, hehe.
