Synopsis

Plot

The setting is an alien cruiser, which has been searching for humanoid planets in order to replace human brains with microchips. The aim is to find the self destruct button in the computer room and then escape from the alien cruiser.

Notes

The publication history of this game is fairly complex.

It was originally released for ZX80 and ZX81 by Artic as Adventure C, and was ported to the ZX Spectrum. Artic later used the subtitle Ship of Doom as the main title of the game. The game was also released in Sinclair-branded packaging for the ZX81 and ZX Spectrum.

The original ZX81 version of this game was subtitled Alien Spaceship rather than Ship of Doom.

The Amstrad CPC version was ported by Dollarsoft and published by Paxman Promotions. The C64 version was initially published in a "basic" version and lated ported and the text expanded by A.W.J. Adam using The Quill.

Incentive re-released the game in 1986 in a version written in GAC.

An Android version of the game, coded by Lee Parker, was released in 2020 through the Pixel Games UK label of the current rights holder.

There are also some unofficial ports and versions of the game in online archives...

The game The Doomtunnel by Italysoft, for the Commodore 64, appears to just be a cracked version of Ship of Doom with the title page changed.

I'll just say this: POINT is also a verb. This is sage advice which every adventurer should live by. ;)
