Tips
Tips include sending one Vorton forward to clear Zones 29-20, then sending him back to release the rest, and continuing like that. Don't spend too much time on the pathways, just clear them enough to get through - time is precious. On zone 5, block the alien and push to trap him. Go to the corner of your block, turn toward the alien and push - it'll move just enough for you to get the Lasertron through! (Stephen Trask in Your Spectrum issue 20 , Page 72) 1720

ON August 13, 1 passed Zone Zero of Highway Encounter from Vortex.
    Block the path of your Vortons at Z29, go on, using blocks to block the paths of aliens, then go back and collect them. (Martin Hewes in Sinclair User issue 43 , Page 15) 4095

(Viktor Drozd - brand new tip!) 10206

Viktor's pokes for immunity don't cover all cases, and can hang the Spectrum under certain conditions.

Here you have my proposal, which also prevents that moving objects pass through the Vortons.

Immunity when they collide with a Vorton: 40905,8 40918,190 40923,182
Immunity when a Vorton collide with them: 40763,81 40767,195 40768,81
They don't die in collisions, only with shots: 40890,195

When using the immunity poke in Alien Highway, the game becomes too easy, because the aliens are destroyed by just touching them.

If you want them to die only when you shoot them, use these ones:
