Software Adventure Games - The Orbital Observatory Adventure
Assault Trooper
Genre: Adventure Game
Production: by Bad Software Company
Publication date: 1988
Description:
The idea of the game itself is to enter the Orbital Observatory and repair the malfunctioning Solar Panel.
It's a standard text adventure that can handle one to three word commands.
Help is available, but it will cost you to get it. Common sense will aid you as well.
There are usually a few synonyms for each command.
If one word doesn't work, try another.
The directional commands use either one letter (N, S, E, W, U, D) or the entire word (North, South, etc.).
If you have any problems, you can always quit.
There is no save game feature, since it is such a short adventure.
The game will work in either monochrome or color, but is more interesting in color, if only for the nifty intro screen. In case you're interested, the adventure can be solved in only 39 moves, and still obtain maximum points.
