Synopsis

Plot

Doomawangara. Abbr.: Doom.

Climate: Varies dramatically from desert to jungle, glacier to swamp. Atmosphere intensely volatile; explorers must guard against rapid corrosion of equipment and spaceship alike.

Dangers: Atmosphere, as above. Automatic defence system. Also the Ruins, reputed to have been the home, aeons ago, of The Ancients; none who has entered them has ever returned. Special features: The large number of crashed spaceships littering its surface, many of which had been carrying treasure from one planet to another, make Doom a potentially lucrative source of income for that special breed of explorer known as Adventurer...

Notes

This is an expanded version of the BBC-only, Acornsoft release.
Unlike many of the other Topologika games, this trilogy didn't originate from mainframes.
