The recipe for this space adventure is "a generous helping of The Hobbit, a spoonful of Star Trek served with a garnish of Monty Python style humour." Quite a tasty dish!

Again, you are cast in the heroic mould. You have to enter the airlock of a space station to get to the controls, fire the retro-rockets and pilot to safety. Fail and the station hits the sun and destroys the universe.

It takes about six minutes to load but the process is reliable. This gives you a chance to make a drink or write down the vocabulary of 40 or so command words - you don't get a chance to see the instructions again once play starts.

For the most part the game is a nicely legible text but from time to time this is supported by location pictures. Commands are entered in two or three words. It pays to keep a careful note to avoid making the same mistake twice. I must own up to never looking like achieving success in the game. Good fun, nonetheless.
