MOONBASE 3 by Barrie M. Eaton Amstrad. There are a couple of technical glitches in this game, but don't let that bother you. You can still play the game. Just ensure that you have picked up what you wanted to pick up. Hints: Ignore the button on your ship. You can't get over the pit. At the top of the stairs when you see the rope, PULLing it is not enough. You need to do something with the door. The correct verb is "FORCE". If you take longer to play this game than necessary, you may be prompted to insert 2.dsk again. Follow those instructions and the game will proceed as outlined. This seems to depend on the number of moves you take. The magazine (in your ship), is needed. Ignore the canister. There is only one red herring. Solution: You are on the moon surrounded by craters.
