Synopsis

After failing to make contact with Earth Orbital Station 1, you make a safe manual docking, only to find that it is deserted. You must explore the station and find some way to alert Earth of your situation. But beware, there is extensive damage and signs of alien intrusion.

Notes

The ZX Spectrum/ZX81 (16K) versions were originally sold by Saturn Soft (aka Saturn Developments Ltd) of Swansea, UK in 1982/83.

Both versions were later released, by Saturn, in a double pack along with the prequel game Mines of Saturn. These were republished by Mikro-Gen.

Inlays, videos and/or downloads exist online to show that Mikro-Gen also released the double-pack for the Oric (16K or 48K), VIC20 (with 8K or 16K) and TI99/4A.

A Commodore 64 version of the game appears to have found its way into public domain catalogues. It's unclear if this version is official. It is copyrighted 1983 Chris Evans. It could possibly be a port of the VIC20 version.

The best that can be said of this adventure is that it is extremely short. Maybe at the level of a magazine listing.
