Starship Escape (Sumlock)

A graphical adventure with a text title page giving you options of play. You and the aliens are in hi-res but your space ship is in keyboard graphics. While cruising through space, your ship is captured by a 'force cloud entity' which disassembles your ship and hides the pieces around its own spaceship. You have to explore the entity's craft and re-assemble your space ship in the airlock assisted only be a laser and your faithful hound K9.

There are various aliens and hints if you get stuck. The sonics were not impressive and there is no save facility. Joystick or keyboard can be used, the game is on cassette, and your VIC must have at least 16K expansion.
