Synopsis

Plot

You are Mike Erlin 2nd Lieutenant of the Spaceship Stellar Queen. While on a survey mission, you lose contact with your scoutship, the Pathfinder.
When you reach the last know position of the Pathfinder, your own ship is nearly destroyed as a powerful tractor beam drags it down to the surface of a large moon. You then discover that a magnetic field is holding your ship, and volunteer to join a search party going out to look for the source of the magnetic field.
Permission is refused but you have your own ideas...

Notes

The original Electron/BBC version was Quilled.

The Spectrum remakes were created using the PAW. The Spectrum 128K version is a more expanded, larger game than the 48K edition.

Larry later converted the game to Amstrad CPC/PCW using the CP/M version of the PAW.

A C64 version of this game, by The Guild, was planned and mentioned in Commodore Force #1 (January 1993), but it was never released.

In 2019, an ADRIFT version was released for PC.
