Space Adventure

In Space Adventure, you control a small animated figure as he explores the rooms of an abandoned space ship. The object of the game is to collect four power crystals, but first you need to find the keys for the rooms in which the keys have been locked away.

You are armed with a phaser and a blaster, either of which you can use against the various hostile androids who inhabit many of the rooms you have to pass through.

The top half of the screen gives you a view of the action taking place, while below is a map of the space ship so you can see which room you're in, together with a status display of your energy.

The battle sequences require a lot of skill at the higher levels, though finding all four crystals before you are wiped out tends to be a matter of luck.

Since you only have one life, you will often find yourself starting again at the beginning, but the game holds sufficient interest for this not to matter. Recommended.
