Mint Area 51 (+4 Trainer)

Here are some hints on getting into just a couple of the seven secret rooms
hidden in Area 51. There are fourteen separate secret rooms entries...some
of them are extremely challenging to get into. So challenging, in fact, so
far nobody has played a perfect game!
In the Hangar (Wave 2), shoot out the three blue "emergency" lights during
the first lockdown. There is one to the left and two to the right of the
red tractor truck. You have to get the one on the left during the quick
camera pan. This will get you into a room where aliens are taking a latrine
break. There are 36 items to shoot in this room; six of them are aliens.
You can score over 40,000 points by hitting everything - a major scoring
opportunity! This entrance to "Head Quarters" is secret room entrance #3.
By shooting all 15 windows in the back of the hanger, players can get into
the secret room entrance #4, "Chow Palace." This will open up into a huge
power-up feast, with 21 icons: two give shotguns; two give machine guns,
and 17 give grenades. This room is also the only place in the game where
you can see a Stage 2 alien, the intermediate bioform between the Stage 1
zombies and the full-blown Stage 3 Kronomorph alien. Here the Stage 2 is
happily munching on a poor human.
When you get into the Admin Building (Wave 4), shoot out the first "exit"
sign and the first three ceiling lights right around it. This will get you
into a room where there are disturbingly cute alien babies hidden insi de
eggs. You can score over 15,000 points in this room. This is secret room
entrance #9.
Here is a cheat of sorts for Area 51.
To play as an alien Kronn Hunter, you must shoot *only* the first
three STAAR Team members you see on the Front Tarmac (Wave 1), as
you start the game. Don't shoot anything else!
You will be restored to your starting number of lives, and you can
play the entire game (including secret rooms), and even get *two*
unique storylines at the end of the game (one mission failure, the
other victory). The powerups and stat plates are all different, too.
Kronn mode, if you can handle it, is the highest possible scoring mode
in Area 51. At each update stage, you will receive an additional 20,000
point bonus. It will also put up a green alien symbol on the high score
screen if you make it.
Have fun!
