Not just an adventure, nor yet a reaction game, but a bit of both. You must wander the rooms of an alien spaceship, collect four keys to locked rooms containing crystals, grab them and escape.

Out to thwart you are robots which must be destroyed. Once your life support or weapons are exhausted you expire, but power packs are dotted around to revitalise you.

This is a first class program, with instructions on both insert and on-screen. Graphics, colour and sound are superb. The status display is easy to read and gives you all the information you need (including a map with your present position).

The only problem I had with Space Adventure was in prising my friends away from it.
