"A text adventure, at least no graphics as far as I've got - about 15%. Story so far: your strato-cruiser is badly damaged in an asteroid storm. You land on Altair 4 - a galactic penal planet - and must find repair equipment, avoiding vile, cannibalistic criminal inhabitants. Finding and befriending wrongly imprisoned Furry Wooky could help.
Some rooms to be explored inside the strato-cruiser. In one, damaged cables and a snoring animal, with comment, "not badly damaged, needs some patching up". Animals or cables? He or it refuses to awaken and I can't find the first aid so I've started exploring the planet.
The nicest thing is that you feel the author, K. Suddick, is sitting inside the TV, watching your progress with fellow-feeling and offering the occasional encouragement or hint. I would have put on the spacesuit unprompted but the suggestion I do so was friendly.
Descriptions are detailed, atmospheric and sometimes subtle. Colour is used sparingly but to good effect and text occasionally behaves in a graphical way. Loved the adventure, hated the 15 minute load. But highly recommended." - Home Computing Weekly
