The briefing

About this game

In Caverns of Callisto, mutants have stolen the panels from your spaceship along with its ion drive. Explore the moon’s maze-like caverns using a jet-pack, recover the missing parts, and escape alive.

The game features an unlimited-ammunition gun that defeats aliens in one hit, though repeated use can cause it to overheat and leave you temporarily defenceless. Jet-pack fuel is limited and must be collected while exploring.

The adventure is divided into five sections. Each contains eight missing panels, along with either a key needed to reach the next section or the missing ion drive.
