China Syndrome

In China Syndrome the reactor is nine levels high with each level consisting of three zones: red, blue, and yellow. The screen displays one level of the reactor at a time as seen from the side rather than from above as in Reactor.

You control a robot arm that must catch particles within the reactor. The particles are released one at a time in each of the three color zones and then dance inside their respective zones. Although your arm can pass from zone to zone, the particles can only stay within their own color group. You can catch a particle by covering it with the arm and pressing the red firing button, causing the particle to disappear. When you clear all three zones of particles you will proceed to the next level, which features faster moving particles.
