Story-

The future sucks.

The polar ice caps have melted, radioactivity is everywhere, 
and there’s no place to get a good gyro. From this godforsaken 
landscape have arisen horrible mutations with heinous 
superhuman powers that menace what remains of the human
race. Fortunately they have also produced many superheroes, 
men and women of great character and power who use their gifts 
to fight off the evils of the wastelands. They have banded 
together to guide mankind through these dark times and make 
sure heroes can always get a date on Saturday night. They stand 
as a shining example to all people.

But not your team, because they’re the Superhero League of 
Hoboken, who had their reputation run into the ground by their 
previous leader. But with hard work, determination, and this 
walkthrough, you might just be able to guide your ragtag band 
of misfits back to greatness.

General Advice-

Save your game each time you start a new set of missions, and 
use a separate save file in case you get stuck or need to start 
over.

MONEY, ITEMS AND EXPERIENCE POINTS ARE FINITE RESOURCES. In 
most RPGs you can fight as many random battles as you want 
and always be guaranteed more, and buy as many of any item 
as you can afford knowing there’s always more. In this one, 
after a certain number of random battles in a particular 
sector of the map screen you’ll have gotten rid of all the 
baddies and won’t have any more random battles there. Also 
there’s only one of each isotope, food item, weapon and piece 
of armor in this game. What this means is the game doesn’t 
reward experimenting. Decide early on who to put in your party 
and keep them there, and be picky about the items and services 
you buy, and how you dole out power-ups.

You heal by using the “rest” command. You can do this a number 
of times equal to the number of members your current party 
is allowed, and it’s refilled by going back to headquarters. 
After using the “rest” command you have to wait until after 
you’ve had at least one combat to use it again, though.

You get an experience point reward for visiting every square 
in a given map screen. It gets bigger with each screen you 
completely fill in.

Whenever a character passes a million experience points they 
get an award called a Mil Marker that protects them from the 
first hit they take in each subsequent battle. 

Every part of the game consists of five missions. One of them 
will always be stopping your archenemy, Dr. Entropy. The other 
ones will always give you some item you need to get to him, 
but it’s not always automatic. Check the screen to see if 
there’s a new item sitting around after completing an 
objective.

You can usually afford to sell off your crummy old weapons 
for a little quick cash, but hang onto all your old armor. 
Since any hero can use any weapon and armor, a fully-equipped 
hero has ten pieces of armor, and none join the team with more 
than one or two articles of armor of their own, it’s good to 
share around stuff your other team members may have no need 
of anymore. It all adds up.

Don’t buy isotopes that give you Really Good at Treading 
Water. Between the isotope you have in the storage closet at 
the beginning of the game and Treader Man’s power, you’ll be 
fine until you’re able to buy an item that will make it so 
you don’t need anyone who’s good at treading water.

Radiation Immunization Locations-
Sometimes while exploring you’ll encounter someone who 
promises to make you immune to radiation for a small 
consideration. Each is only good for one hero, so make sure 
you give it to somebody you’re going to keep. Below are the 
places I’ve found where you can have this done:
4C, 12,7
3D, 15,12
2D, 3,10
1B, 2,10
Philadelphia, 2,9
Philadelphia sewers, 4,5
Poughkeepsie, 9,9
New York uptown, 14, 11
New York uptown sewers, 12,9
Atlantic City, 6,8

Misc. Items-

Food: Along the way you’ll be able to buy or get from enemies 
vegetable, beef and fish items. Eating vegetables gives a 
character more HP, fish improves Brains (attack powers do more 
damage), and beef is good for more Brawn (regular attacks do 
more damage).

Isotopes: Drinking isotopes makes the drinker develop 
secondary super powers, or improve ones they have already, 
depending on the color of the isotope. The percentage you have 
of a secondary power (max 100) determines how effective it 
is.
Blue increases Treading Water, which you need to have at a 
certain level to get around flooded territory.
Black increases Put Animals to Sleep, which is effective 
against most non-humanoid organic enemies.
Yellow increases Raise Foe’s Cholesterol, which works well 
against humanoid organic enemies.
Green increases Cause Root Rot, which is effective on 
plant-type enemies, who are really rare, but also some of the 
nastiest monsters in the game.
Red increases Induce Rust, which works really well on robots.
The descriptions of the isotopes in stores don’t say “red” 
or “black,” they get cutesy and say “ebon” or “brick” or 
“jonquil.” Use the “look” button to get specific info when 
you shop.

Power Pills: You need these to give your party enough energy 
to walk around hilly terrain, one per hero in your group. They 
only last for a while (if you stop to rest they’ll wear off), 
but unless you make a point to waste them you should be able 
to get enough from fights and pawnbrokers.

2. Walkthrough-

First Mission

You begin in the main room of Superhero League of Hoboken 
Headquarters. Go upstairs and turn on Matilda to get your 
first set of missions. Let’s see, chili peppers are 
threatening the water table, a religious cult’s computer is 
broken, a flock of rabid sheep is threatening a nearby 
village, there’s a
deadly limburger bomb threat, and Dr. Entropy has created a 
machine that will reverse all sign arrows. Sounds like a job 
for the Superhero League of Hoboken!

Go back down, and go forward to enter the lunchroom. This is 
where you go to add or remove superheroes from your away team. 
Every time you finish a set of missions you’ll get another 
slot in your party, up to nine. But right now you can only 
have three others, so make them Iron Tummy, Robomop and 
Mademoiselle Pepperoni. Once you’ve done that, open the 
storage cabinet and take everything out of it except the 
oil-eating microbes. Never found a use for them except for 
a little bit of quick cash. Have somebody drink the blue 
isotope you find. Somebody you plan on keeping for a while. 
The Crimson Tape works fine.

Go one space north of the headquarters and you’ll fight two 
Terrible Twos and a Lawyer. The Lawyer is a bit tougher than 
the Twos, but this is still a pretty easy fight. You could 
go to 14,11 and take the ferry to get to the other side of 
the water, but you can actually walk to the northeast and go 
around it.
You’ll have to make some diagonal movements, but you’re never 
exactly rolling in money in this game, so why throw it away 
when you don’t have to? Beware that there’s as there’s an 
encampment of four Suggesters that way, and they can be tough 
right at the start of the game.

Go to 2C after going around the water, however you do it, and 
go to coordinates 6,8 to find the Newark inner city area. Enter 
it. Go to coordinates 10,2 and enter the building where the 
evil chili peppers are hidden. Use Iron Tummy’s power to get 
rid of them, and pick up the rag on the floor. You don’t need 
Iron Tummy anymore, so you might consider giving his spot to 
a hero with an attack power. I usually go back and switch in 
Tropical Oil Man at this point.

Go to 2D, and go to coordinates 8,8. Go to the pawnbroker’s 
tent and buy the cheese-eating microbes and can of sheep 
spray. Go to 12,8 in sector 2C (it’s just southwest of the 
entrance to headquarters, so you can stop to replenish 
supplies and rest on the way) to enter the Jersey City market. 
Open the trunk
of the car and pour the cheese-eating microbes on the bomb 
inside. Use the rag on the transmission fluid. Then go to 7,11 
and enter East Orange. Use the sheep spray on the flock of 
sheep to get rid of them, and then use the rag on the sheep 
drool. 

Go to 2D, 7,10 and enter the church. Smash the flower pot, 
but  resist the urge to take the magnet yet or you’ll be kicked 
out of the church before you have everything you need. 
Instead, take the plant off the floor and use the rag on the 
pile of dirt. Now take the magnet.

Go to 4,12 and enter the building. Use the rag on the far wall. 
All the grunge you’ve put on it will melt through the wall 
and enable you to enter Dr. Entropy’s hideout, so go through 
the door. When Dr. Entropy finishes his evil monologue use 
Robomop’s power to clean the trash off the floor, revealing 
the power cord of Entropy’s machine. Unplug it. Entropy will 
get away. Before you leave take the horn off the phonograph 
and the 100-watt light bulb next to it.

Go back to headquarters, where the league will receive a 
promotion.

Second Mission

Go upstairs and get your next list of tasks. Seems contact 
has been lost with the Superhero League of Scranton, the 
Piscataway Warlord is becoming dangerous, the only man who 
knows the formula for silly putty is on his deathbed, Dr. 
Entropy is working on a superior species of pigeon, and you 
need guacamole for the League party. 

Go to the lunchroom and add Treader Man to your team. Open
the storage cabinet and take the gray tube pass. Go downstairs 
to the museum, and look at the statue of Frank Sinatra. Open 
the compartment in the back and take the tape inside. Leave 
the building.

Go to sector 1C, coordinates 4,5 and enter the factory 
(Incidentally, watch out for coordinates 10,4-12,4 until you 
get a lot tougher, there’s an encampment of Steroid Men 
there). Take the frosted panel off the wall and the 98 watt 
light bulb. Put your 100 watt light bulb into the socket. Take 
the avocado and guacamole that appear, then leave.

Go back to sector 2C and enter the Newark inner city. Go to 
9,10 and enter the subway. Take the plastic tubing and enter 
the gray train. Take the ray gun from the floor and go up to 
reach the surface. You are now in Scranton, so go over to 6,5 
and enter the local Superhero League’s headquarters. Use the 
bowdlerizing
ray on the issues of Playboy (Mademoiselle Pepperoni has to 
be in your group). The hot spot’s in the middle of the crate. 
Go to 11,8, enter the subway and take the gray train back to 
Newark, then leave the inner city.

Go to 7,6 and enter the control tower. Open the locker and 
take the pappy outfit. You can try to go upstairs, but Dr. 
Entropy’s henchman, Collector, will keep you from getting up 
there for now. Instead, leave the control tower and go to 
sector 2D, coordinates 13,6.

Enter the shaman’s tent. Put on the pappy outfit and talk to 
the old man, selecting, “What’s the matter? Don’t you
recognize yer own pappy?” Take off the pappy outfit and talk 
to the old man again, selecting, “Um, didn’t your pappy 
mention I might be by to chat with you?” Take the plastic egg 
off the floor.

Go to sector 1B, 13,9. This is the Piscataway Warlord’s 
mansion. Enter his room by going north. Take the bust of Pat 
Buchanan off the shelf above the door and put the magnet there 
instead. Wait until you’re escorted out of the room. Take the 
paperweight off the floor. Go to 12,7 and buy the wire cutters 
and 50y
transmitter from the pawnbroker. Open the transmitter and put 
the Sinatra tape inside, then close it.

Go back to 2C, 7,6 and enter the control tower. Try to go 
upstairs, and give Collector the plastic egg, the lump of 
coal, the paperweight, and the avocado and he’ll leave. Go 
upstairs and come face to face with Dr. Entropy. Turn on the 
transmitter to defeat his nefarious scheme, but he’ll get away 
again. Go back to base to receive another promotion.

Third Mission

Wait once and Oxide Man will show up and join the team. Go 
to the lunchroom and add him to your party, then go upstairs 
and get your new set of objectives. A historical relic is 
missing, the priests of the Piscataway church are corrupt, 
Mineola is threatened by radiation, a cat is trapped under 
the liberty bell and Dr. Entropy is cross-breeding rats with 
race horses. Oh no! Go down, open the storage cabinet and take 
the museum key, then leave.

Go to sector 2D, 9,9 and enter the Patterson Warlord’s 
mansion. Take the plastic case on the table, the fur coat, 
and the coat rack it was on. Go to sector 1C, 9,12 and enter 
the Washington museum. Put the coat rack on the unfaded spot, 
and while you’re here take the wig, false teeth and uniform 
in case you need to trick somebody into thinking you’re George 
Washington (hey, it’s that kind of game). You’ll pick up a 
turnstile token on the way out.

Go to 5,8 and enter Bernardsville, then pick up the 
construction site placard (it’s on the right side of the 
screen). Then go to 1B, 11,7 and enter the Piscataway temple. 
Enter the sanctuary by going left and hide under the altar. 
Wait until you see the priest step on a knot underneath the 
altar, then look at
the knot and pull up the loose board you find. Use the wire 
cutters on the wire you find, and then wait until all the noise 
dies down, then get out and leave the church. You’ll get 
another turnstile token.

Go to 2C and enter the control tower. Go upstairs and ride 
the helicopter to 3C. Go to 3D (north) and take the ferry at 
14,2 then go to 6,9 and enter the market. Enter the 
pawnbroker’s and buy the lead long johns, purple tube pass 
and orienteering guide, which lets you enter forest terrain. 
Before you leave
go to the shaman and give him the plastic case to get a tube 
of nitrous oxide and a cash reward. Leave and go back to 9,5 
to take the ferry, then go to 4C, 1,9 and enter Mineola. The 
long johns will automatically be handed out and you’ll have 
completed another task (and gotten another token).

For your next objective you need a red tube pass, and the only
way to get it is as a dropped item after a fight. If you already 
have one, great, skip to the next paragraph. If you don’t, 
you’ll want to go back to any sectors you haven’t cleared out 
yet and fight bad guys until you do. It’s annoying, but it’s 
the only way.

Go to Newark and enter the subway at 9,10. Go downstairs and 
take the red train, then go up twice and you’re in 
Philadelphia. Go to 10,6 to the Liberty Bell. Put your plastic 
tubing on your tube of nitro and then put the plastic tubing 
through the crack in the bell and shake the tube of nitro. 
Then raise
the bell. If you don’t have enough brawn to do it, that’s okay, 
head over to 14,8 to find a health club. You’ll have to fight 
a couple of baddies to get to it but it can give you a temporary 
brawn boost. You might need to level up a few characters to 
get enough of a brawn total (a majority of sixth-class 
characters seems to be the bare minimum). However you do it 
once the bell is raised you’ll sit through a comedy act. Pick 
up the whistle, go to 5,8 and enter the subway, go down twice 
to take the red train back to Newark and then leave Newark.

Go to the control tower and ride the helicopter again. Go to 
13,7 and enter Belmont Park (using your turnstile tokens on 
the way). After Dr. Entropy’s speech, put the construction 
site placard on the steel framework behind him. This will 
scare the horses away. He’ll get away again, but before you 
leave
take the green tube pass off the ground. Take the helicopter 
back to 2C and return to base. You’ll get another promotion.

Fourth mission

Go upstairs and get your next set of tasks. Hmm, seems the 
Superhero League of Flushing has a bit of a mouse problem, 
the Yale/Princeton feud is about to turn bloody, there’s a 
historical artifact in the Philadelphia sewers, a strange
gang holed up in Times Square might cause trouble if their 
New Years festivities fail, and Dr. Entropy has brought George 
Steinbrenner back to life!

Truly, these are the times when we need heroes the most. You 
can now put Princess Glovebox in your party, but she’s really 
not that tough and you won’t need her power for a fairly long 
time. I recommend putting someone with a useful attack power, 
like Captain Excitement, into the new slot in your team 
instead.

Go to the control tower and ride the helicopter. Go to 7,10 
and enter the headquarters of the Superhero League of 
Flushing. Blow the whistle and the tiger will kill all the 
giant mice. Take the giant mouse corpse, and take the ecru 
bedistor underneath it.

Leave and take the helicopter back, then go to 2B
(you’ll have to go south into 1A and around some water in the 
southeast part of 1B). Go to 2,5 and take the ferry, then go 
to 8, 10 and enter the market. Buy the orange tube pass and 
the rubber dinghy from the pawnbroker. Now you can go across 
all watery areas. Go to 4D, 8,4 and get a bird call to deliver 
to an area near Princeton. Go to 3C, then enter the New York 
downtown area at 1,10.

Go to 7,3 and enter the Empire State Building, then go 
downstairs and take the green train. Go to 8,3 and overhear 
some of the Yale clan planning to meet elsewhere. Go to 2,9 
and enter the museum. Go right and take the termite hatchery 
and washer. Go back and put the washer on the right spot then 
get on
the left spot. Wait until you overhear their plans to attack 
Princeton. Go outside and back to 9,7 to enter the subway. 
Take the green train and leave the Empire State Building then 
the downtown area. Go to sector 1A, 1,9 to enter the Princeton 
library. Talk to the coach and select, “Coach! We’ve got some
important information about that!” Take the maroon bedistor 
and leave.

While you’re here, go to 1,10 and enter the market, and buy 
the termite eggs from the pawnbroker. Also while you’re here, 
go to 2,4 to drop off the bird call and get an experience bonus.

Go to 3D and go to 3,2 to enter Yankee Stadium. You can’t stop 
Dr. Entropy yet, so just pour your aluminum-eating microbes 
on the box and take the ball inside. Now go to 3C and enter 
the New York downtown area at 1,10. Go to 3,9 to enter Times 
Square. Give the ball to Dick Clark, and pick up the ochre 
bedistor.
Leave the downtown area.

Go to Newark and enter the subway. Take the red train to 
Philadelphia. You can do this next thing before or after 
dealing with the situation in the sewers, but during this 
mission you need to go to 6,5 to Ben Franklin’s house and 
defeat the enemies there to save King Midas, who’ll become 
a new hero you can
use when you get back to base.

Go to 7,1 and enter the sewers. In the bottom right corner 
you’ll face three enemy encampments one after another if you 
walk
forward, the first with one lava lamprey, then two, then four, 
although you’ll be able to stop and rest between them. If you 
have any heroes who have Put Animals to Sleep, make liberal 
use of it. After defeating them all you receive the artifact 
and a mauve bedistor. Leave the sewers.

Go to 3D, 5,10 and enter the subway. Take the purple train. 
You’ll end up in Poughkeepsie. Go to 12,2 and break into the 
office building to get a computer printout and a metal rod. 
Go back to the subway and take the purple train back. Go to 
3C, 1,11 and enter the downtown area. Go to 15,5 and enter 
a room with suspended animation tubes. Put the metal rod in 
the 4th hole in bottom of the 4th tube, which is actually the 
third from the left. Take the frozen body inside and go to 
3D, 3,2 and enter the stadium. Open the booth and put the 
frozen body inside, then close it and put the four bedistors 
in the proper sockets. Then push the blue button and open the 
booth. George will no longer
pose a threat to humanity, and you’ll have captured Dr. 
Entropy (until the next mission starts anyway). Return to base 
to get another promotion.

Fifth mission

Go upstairs and get your new set of tasks. Seems the 
Poughkeepsie warlord has declared war on Afghanistan, the 
Huntington warlord is hoarding a video tape from before the 
collapse of society, the shaman of Freehold has raised his 
prices and destabilized the entire local economy, two tribes 
in New York are involved in a turf war, and Dr. Entropy has 
nearly created a tree that will drop its leaves AFTER the yard 
has been raked. The fiend! 

Go to the lunchroom and add King Midas. Okay, the truth is 
you can do everything you need him to do before you even leave 
the base. Have him use his power on two useless objects like 
loose board, the bust of Buchanan, the uprooted plant, the 
pappy outfit, etc. The game will stop you if you try it on 
an item that’s still useful. You’ll get a car muffler and a 
scarf and that’s all you need him for, though confidentially 
you should have him use his power on a couple other items to 
get a very useful one. I recommend giving his spot to another 
hero, one who’s more help in a fight.

Whatever your choice, go to 3D, 5,10 and enter the subway. 
Take the purple train to Poughkeepsie. Go to 16,7 and enter 
the Warlord’s mansion. Put on the wig, teeth and uniform you 
got from the Washington museum and go north. Talk to the 
Warlord and tell him what a bad idea it would be to invade 
Afghanistan. As you leave you’ll get a casino chip. Take the 
purple train back.

Go to 4D, 12,6 to enter the Warlord of Huntington’s mansion. 
Look at the wobbly table in the back and take the video tape 
you now see. Go to 1A, 1,9 and give the video tape to the 
Princeton librarian. You get another casino chip and you’ve 
completed another task.

Go to 2A, 2,4 and enter Freehold. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING until 
after you complete this task. Go to the shaman’s tent and say, 
“Don’t you realize the importance of affordable health care?” 
He’ll protest that the hardware dealer’s prices are too high. 
Go talk to the hardware vendor and say, “We heard from the 
shaman that you’re charging way too much…,” and he’ll complain 
that the guy who runs the hostel charges too much. Go and talk 
to the hostel owner and say, “The hardware merchant claims 
that you’ve recently…” and after some beating around the bush 
he’ll complain that the brothel charges too much. Go there 
and talk to the madam, say, “Why are your rates so high,…” 
and she’ll direct you back to the shaman. Talk to him again 
and say, “Your high prices…” He’ll agree to lower the prices 
if the brothel has an Ecuadorian woman. Go back to the brothel 
and ask the madam about that. She has an Ecuadorian, but she’s 
leaving the area soon because she gets too cold.

Give your scarf and fur coat to the madam and she’ll give you 
a rate sheet. Give it to the owner of the hostel, who’ll also 
give you a rate sheet. Give it to the hardware vendor, who 
will give you yet another rate sheet. Give it to the shaman. 
You’ll get another casino chip. Buy stuff now if you want.

Go to 3C, 1,10 and enter the New York area. Enter the Empire 
State Building (7,3), go downstairs and take the green train 
to New Haven. Go to 7,12 (you’ll need to use some power pills) 
and enter the wise man’s cave. Take the sheet music and 
practice it to be transported to Carnegie Hall. Sit at the 
grand piano and play it to make a sand bag fall. Open it and 
take the two totems inside, then get up (the “upstairs” arrow) 
and enter the beam of light to be transported back to the cave. 
Take the green train back to New York. Go to 5,12 and enter 
Radio City Music Hall. Give the Rah Kett totem to the leader, 
then leave. Go to 16,9 and enter the UN building. Given the 
Yu Wen totem to the
leader, and you’ll get another chip and have completed another 
task.

Go to Newark and take the red train, then go upstairs and take 
the orange train. Go upstairs to enter Atlantic City. Go to 
4,4 and enter Trump Casino. Put your four casino chips in the 
slot machine’s slot and a door will be revealed. Enter it (go 
upstairs) to encounter Dr. Entropy again. After his
speech, open the termite hatchery and put the termite eggs 
in it, then close the hatchery. Turn it on, then open it. Dr. 
Entropy’s tree will be destroyed and you’ll turn him over to 
the police. Leave, take the orange train back, then go 
downstairs and take the red train, then leave Newark and go 
back to base for another promotion.

Sixth mission

Go upstairs and get your new tasks. There’s a problem with 
maps at the hostel in Staten Island, a cult in Harrisburg is 
embarking on a plan to end the world, there are alligators 
in the New York Sewers, a miracle has gotten out of hand at 
a Scranton church, and Dr. Entropy is working on a machine 
that will emit an insidious gas. Got your work cut out for 
you. Go downstairs and witness the arrival of the Mighty 
Magnitude, then go to the lunchroom and add him to your party. 
Also put in Princess Glovebox for your first objective.

Go to 2B, 8,10 and enter the village. Go to the hostel and 
have Princess Glovebox use her power to clean up the mess. 
Take the can of Bud that’s revealed, and before you leave buy 
the silver tube pass from the pawnbroker. If you’ve haven’t 
kept Princess Glovebox in your team the whole time and built 
her up, go back and switch her out now.

Go to Newark and take the red train to Philadelphia. Enter 
the sewers at 7,1 and go to the subway station at 7,7. Take 
the gum on the ground, then go downstairs and take the silver 
train. Go upstairs, and when you take a step in any direction 
you’ll run into an encampment of twenty enemies. This is a 
very long, very tough fight, so make use of your character’s 
powers at every opportunity. There’s five McMutants, five 
Espevangelists, four Mickey Monsters, three Cruise 
Mistletoes, two Armageddon Armadillos and an Unrepeatable Bug 
which I highly recommend you finish off before it gets to the 
front of the group before it can mess you up. Put Animals to 
Sleep works pretty well on it. After you win you’ll get a paper 
clip. Go to 9,4 and enter the village, then enter the hostel 
and take the master tube pass from the lost and found on the 
desk. Go to 15, 2 and enter
Three Mile Island.

Open the box in front and put the paper clip on the electrodes, 
then pull the orange lever. Something will blow and a hole 
will appear on the console, so put the gum over it and pull 
the lever again. The cultists will leave. Take the uranium 
pellet from the melted console on the other side of the room 
and leave
too.

Go back to the subway and take the silver train back. Go 
upstairs twice and leave the sewers. Go to the subway and take 
the orange train to Atlantic City. Go to 15,9 and investigate 
the excavation. You’ll get a bunch of National Enquirers. Go 
back and take the orange train, then go down and take the red
train. Go upstairs and take the gray train to Scranton. Go 
to 4,11 and enter the village. Put the National Enquirers in 
the basket in front of you then wait until they’re all gone. 
You’ll automatically pick up some mushroom soup. Another task 
down.

Go to 3C, 1,11. Go to 12,7 and enter the sewers. The enemies 
down here are very tough, so you’ll probably want to clean 
them out before you go alligator hunting. Be prepared to make 
a few trips back to base before you’re done here in any case. 
Alligators are located at 5,10; 8,3; 9,5; 13,3; and 14,10. 
No matter which order you tackle them, you’ll fight one at 
the first one, two at the second one, and so on. After beating 
them all one hero will pick up some gator guano for some 
reason. Leave the sewers and go to 2C.

Enter the Statue of Liberty, it’s just south of the 
headquarters entrance. Once inside try to go upstairs and a 
huge Boba Fett robot will get in your way. If you talk to him 
you might get the idea he’s thirsty. Open the can of Bud and 
stick the horn from the gramophone in it. Stick the uranium 
pellet, mushroom soup, and alligator guano into the can, then 
give it to the robot and he’ll short out and get out of your 
way. Climb the stairs and Dr. Entropy jumps out the window. 
Go back to base to receive your congratulations.

Final Mission

There’s just one task this time: Dr. Entropy’s holed up in 
the Empire State Building and is planning his most diabolical 
scheme ever! Now’s the time to make your team as 
combat-prepped as possible. The two new heroes are obscenely 
powerful combatants so make room for them right way and get 
rid of anybody who isn’t as much help in a fight. Toastbuster’s 
power also finally lets you disarm dangerous pizzas, meaning 
knowing whether they’re dangerous doesn’t matter anymore, so 
swap out Mademoiselle Pepperoni if you’ve been putting up with 
her for the sake of her power. And whatever you do make sure 
Mighty Magnitude is in your team before you leave because you 
finally need his superpower.

Go to the Newark inner city and take the gray train. Go 
upstairs, to coordinates 15,9, to a crashed banana truck. Have 
Mighty Magnitude use his Superpower of Ten three times and 
then pick up the smaller load of bananas. Go back to the 
subway, then go downstairs and take the gold train. Go 
upstairs to the Buffalo-Niagra area. You’ll be having the 
toughest fights in the game here, as indicated by the 
Dangermeter exploding. Good thing you did like I said and put 
together a really tough party, right?

Go to 4,9 and enter the market. Buy “l’isotope blanc” from 
the pawnbroker and use it on any hero to develop a power called
Beaver Jaw. The function of this power should be obvious. The 
“isotope d’argent” gives Power to Confuse at 95% and is also 
a great buy. Go to 12,1, the rest stop, and use Beaver Jaw 
on the tree by the river. You can also buy food from the vending 
machine if you want to. After the tree falls have Mighty
Magnitude use the Superpower of Ten which will enlarge the 
tree and dam the river.

Go to 3,11 and approach the observation platform. You’ll get 
a barrel. Cross the dry riverbed, onto the island to the west. 
The tree will wash away. Go west to the highway and the two 
armies will ask for your help in getting off the island, which 
you’ll supply with your dinghy. After they leave you’ll get 
a plowshare and pruning hook. Go to 7,6 and enter the farm. 
Give the barrel, plowshare and pruning hook to Farmer Ben to 
get his elevator key. 

Go back to the subway and take the gold train back to Scranton, 
then take the gray train back to Newark. Go to 3C, 1,10 and 
enter the New York downtown area.

Once you get one space away from the Empire State Building 
in any direction you’ll by attacked by three waves of enemies, 
giving you no time to rest in between battles, although Mil 
Markers are reset between each wave. Thank you, Legend,
for small favors. The first wave consists of Terrible Two, 
Supermom, Chicken from Hell, McMutant, Junk Bond Amoeba, 
Espevangelist, Linebacker, Bag Lady, Lab Rat from Hell, 
Aerobot, Cruise Mistletoe, Armageddon Armadillo, Samurai 
Welder and Unrepeatable Bug. The second wave consists of 
Alligator from Hell, Monster Tree, Lava Lamprey, All Mine 
Mine, King Kong Salmon, Mickey Monster, Mega Processor, 
One-Armed Bandit, Ant from Hell, Albino Wino, Glowing 
Beaneater, Tupper, and Transistor Jowl. The third and 
thankfully final wave consists of Screaming Meemie, Lawyer, 
Bureau-crat, Marketoon, Suggestor, Cy Young Cyborg, 
Dandelion from Hell, Thrasher Thresher, Albino Rhino, Cy 
Young Cyclops, Steroid Man, Cy
Young Cyclotron, Albino Dino, and Ragweed. Once you defeat 
all the guards, enter the building.

Push the elevator call button and enter the elevator. Because 
of your key you can reach the top floor where Dr. Entropy is 
hiding. He shows you his evil device, a movie projector that 
makes whatever movie it shows come to life, and King Kong 
appears outside the window and grabs the doc. Have the Mighty 
Magnitude use the Superpower of Ten three times to restore 
the load of bananas to its original size to distract Kong. 
Now you can turn off the projector, which isn’t good news for 
Dr. Entropy. That fall couldn’t have been pleasant, and 
fifteen tons of bananas falling on him from the top of the 
Empire State Building…ouch.

Congratulations! You used my walkthrough to beat the game!

3. Hero List-

The Crimson Tape
Starting stats:
Superhero tenth class
Brawn 14
Brain 30
Tough 5
HP 21
Primary superpower: Create organizational charts
Equipment: Two by four, Ace bandage
Thoughts: You are the mighty leader of the League, with the 
awesome power to choose away teams, equip your teammates, dole 
out power-ups and do all the thinking for this misbegotten 
excuse for a superhero team! Since this is your character, 
he has to be in the party at all times. Giving him isotopes 
for some extra powers is highly recommended.

The Iron Tummy
Starting stats:
Superhero tenth class
Brawn 26
Brain 6
Tough 5
HP 28
Primary superpower: Eat spicy food without distress
Equipment: Rusty nail, pea shooter, aerobic shoes
Thoughts: His power’s necessary to solve one of the first 
puzzles, but after that you’ll never need it again. I tend 
to give his slot to Tropical Oil Man to have someone with an 
attack power. Nonetheless he’s fairly tough and you might 
consider giving him a front spot in the team.

Robomop
Starting stats:
Superhero tenth class
Brawn 25
Brain 4
Tough 8
HP 33
Primary superpower: Clean almost any mess
Equipment: Pointy stick, rubber gloves
Thoughts: Robomop is a pretty tough character for early in 
the game and usually takes up one of the front spots in my 
team. His power also allows him to clean off dirty pizza boxes 
so Mademoiselle Pepperoni can use her power on them, so he’s 
worth keeping around.

Mademoiselle Pepperoni.
Starting stats:
Superhero tenth class
Brawn 9
Brain 25
Tough 4
HP 18
Primary superpower: See inside pizza boxes
Equipment: Mace, Gore-tex hot pants, padded belt, oven mitts
Thoughts: You know how in some old RPG’s defeated enemies 
leave chests that hold extra goodies, but might be trapped? 
Well in this game they leave pizzas with extra goodies that 
might be trapped. Without her around, you’ll have no idea 
which are which. She’s not a great fighter, but since money’s 
a finite resource, odds are soon you’ll be glad for any chance 
to get more that comes along. Usually worth keeping around 
until the final mission, and possibly giving some attack 
powers to give her something to do in fights.

Tropical Oil Man
Starting stats:
Superhero tenth class
Brawn 3
Brain 11
Tough 1
HP 13
Primary superpower: Increase Foe’s Cholesterol
Equipment: Spitball shooter, sunglasses
Thoughts: Tropical Oil Man is one of only two characters who 
start the game with an attack power. I usually give him a spot 
in the team once I don’t need Iron Tummy anymore.

Captain Excitement
Starting stats:
Superhero tenth class
Brawn 2
Brain 13
Tough 3
HP 14
Primary superpower: Put Animals to Sleep
Equipment: Paddleball set, Nerf earmuffs
Thoughts: As with Tropical Oil Man, one of the only characters 
to start the game with an attack power. Worth considering for 
a space as you get deeper into the game and are allowed more 
heroes in your active team, especially if you’re being cheap 
and spending money on stuff besides isotopes.

Treader Man
Starting stats:
Superhero ninth class
Brawn 24
Brain 16
Tough 4
HP 35
Primary superpower: Really good at treading water
Equipment: Pitchfork, sawed-off shotgun, plastic goggles, 
rubber cape
Joins: For the second set of missions.
Thoughts: Unless you’re planning to waste a lot of money on 
blue isotopes, you’ll need Treader Man around for a large part 
of the game to take advantage of the mobility he provides to 
enter flooded terrain. With how cheap this game is with 
experience points, I always keep him around just because of 
how many levels he’ll have built up by the time you don’t need 
his power to get around anymore.

Oxide Man
Starting stats:
Superhero eighth class
Brawn 4
Brain 20
Tough 2
HP 27
Primary superpower: Induce rust
Equipment: Arsenic-tipped deer antlers, Saturday night 
special, steel-lined
boots, iron jockstrap
Joins: For the third set of missions.
Thoughts: As a fighter he’s nothing to write home about, but 
Oxide Man has a power it’s hard to find a good isotope for, 
and he MURDERS robots with it. Since they tend to show up in 
groups, he’s definitely worth a slot in the party. I always 
thought he was the odd man out of the other characters for 
having a power that didn’t sound weird or goofy.

Princess Glovebox
Starting stats:
Superhero seventh class
Brawn 15
Brain 33
Tough 2
HP 42
Primary superpower: Refold road maps
Equipment: Neutron sword, diamond chastity belt, suede 
stealth sandals
Joins: For the fourth set of missions.
Thoughts: Like Iron Tummy, Princess Glovebox has a power 
that’s useful for solving one puzzle in the whole game. 
Strategically you’ll probably have better options, though.

King Midas
Starting stats:
Superhero seventh class
Brawn 15
Brain 28
Tough 4
HP 49
Primary superpower: The Midas Touch (turn anything into a 
muffler)
Equipment: Deflector crown, scepter-style flamethrower
Joins: When rescued from Ben Franklin’s house in the fourth 
set of missions.
Thoughts: King Midas is pretty much useless compared to the 
characters you’ll have by the time he becomes available. 
You’ll need his power to get a couple useful items, but that’s 
it.

Mighty Magnitude
Starting stats:
Superhero fourth class
Brawn 45
Brain 90
Tough 8
HP 121
Primary superpower: Superpower of Ten
Secondary superpowers: Cause Root Rot 33%
Equipment: High-powered laser, moby chainsaw, deflector horn 
rims, pocket
protector
Joins: For the sixth set of missions.
Thoughts: Mighty Magnitude is a pretty tough customer, and 
his power is necessary to solve some puzzles near the end of 
the game, so it’s definitely worth leveling him up so he can 
pull his weight in those areas. He also comes with Cause Root 
Rot, a power it’s hard to find any isotopes for but which is 
really helpful against some extremely nasty enemies like 
Monster Trees and Ragweed. I always max him out with the 
verdant isotope you get in the last area you unlock.

Toastbuster
Starting stats:
Superhero first class
Brawn 225
Brain 40
Tough 40
HP 567
Primary superpower: Vanquish baked goods
Equipment: Smart bomb launcher, smart gloves, asbestos apron
Joins: For the final mission.
Thoughts: Not only is he the strongest character in the game 
and able to shrug off hits from most enemies, his power lets 
you finally disarm booby trapped pizzas. Put him in the front 
of your team, give him your most badass weapons, and you’ll 
never regret it.

Zaniac
Starting stats: 
Superhero first class
Brawn 25
Brain 266
Tough 4
HP 45
Primary superpower: Power to Confuse
Secondary superpowers: Refold road maps 6%, see inside pizza 
boxes 2%, eat spicy food without distress 5%, clean almost 
any mess 1%
Equipment: Sharpened toothpick, deflector undies, reflective 
visor
Joins: For the final mission.
Thoughts: Zaniac’s power isn’t infallible, since once in a 
while he’ll spazz out and not use it when you tell him to, 
but most of the time it can kill or very nearly kill an enemy 
in one shot. With the kinds of battles you’ll be fighting by 
the time he’s available, you’ll be glad for that kind of 
firepower. It’s a little annoying how you can’t give him any 
other powers, but that’s a small price to pay for being able 
to one-shot nearly any enemy.

Caped Cod
Starting stats:
Superhero sixth class
Brawn 29
Brain 29
Tough 9
HP 99
Primary superpower: Really good at treading water
Equipment: Gizzard exploder, slinky of death, Teflon Galoshes
Joins: After winning a random fight.
Thoughts: By the time you get Caped Cod you’ll already have 
enough mobility to get where you need to go. He’s an okay 
placeholder character, but you’ll probably have better.
