You are the captain of the space patrol cruiser galaxy. While on routine patrol you receive a distress sigal originating from a previously unknown planet. Your missionn is to investigate the source of the signal. A word of warning, though: your mission is fraught with danger and things may not be all they seem. Be prepared for the unexpected.
This is the first of the adventures in the galaxy series.
Notes
Although billed as the first entry in the "galaxy series", no further games were ever published.
My very first adventure game; I needed weeks to solve it. The most difficult step is "point rod at plate" (I had to wait for some magazine publishing that hint). Decent setup and some simple graphics (it was stunning for that time).
The panel also got Derek Brewster as he confessed in his review of the game in Crash #7, but I reckon it was a nod to "Ship of Doom" where you had to point a rod at something in order to open it - becames automatic every time you have a rod, same as waving any wands and rubbing any lamps. :). Otherwise an unsophisticated effort from David Banner, who later would produce more and better games.
