These days, when I look at the plethora of bbc_b/Electron adventure solutions all out there on the Classic Adventures Solution Archive, I wonder if there's still anyone viewing the odd ones published in the EUG magazine. My response is to strive to make everything much more lush-looking so, to this end, here's a rather marvellous graphical solution to the Robico classic space adventure The Hunt - Search For Shauna. The version illustrated here is the BBC Micro version. The adventure is identical on the Electron but, alas, does not have any graphics.
As with many Robico adventures, although the instructions are sparse, they contain some important 'need-to-know' information. Your quest is simple: to find your missing crewmember Shauna and return with her to berth number 5820 of the spacestation. The game is played in real-time, so even with a solution you won't necessarily find characters in the locations indicated, so be prepared for a few scouting-around missions as you journey through it.
As you may observe from all of the pictures illustrating this game, The Hunt is actually a work of art on the Beeb as a much-improved Scott Adams type of game! It's a real shame that the Electron version is text only, particularly as all the pictures do load in from disc on the Beeb version. You would've thought it shouldn't have been too difficult to make a graphical Electron one that ran on the AP4... Perhaps a future conversion project for somebody?
