Genre: Adventure Game
Production: by Rick Pitel
Publication date: 1989
Description:
You are the captain of a research space ship with a crew of 30.
The ship has run out of energy and you have used the last of it to transport yourself and 5 handpicked volunteers to the surface of a planet to obtain energy crystals to repower the ship. As you begin the game, a list of available crewmembers is printed on the screen, from which you are to pick 5.
Before you reach the crystal mines you will pass through a number of zones where you will encounter some sort of person or thing that you will have to deal with before moving on. If you reach the mines, you will be able to buy the crystals for 100 interstellar credits.
You start out with 300, so hopefully you'll have some left when you reach the mines. If you obtain the crystals you return to the ship a big hero -- otherwise, the game ends when you die.
