This is the smallest adventure that I have ever seen and, despite the fact that it has graphics, one that I truly didn't expect to like.

However, I was wrong. Although I don't think it would pose any problems to the experienced adventurer, it is nevertheless an enjoyable romp.

You have been stranded on an alien planet and your task is to find a means of leaving it and returning home.

Stranded

It won't take you long to find a spaceship but unfortunately, it's guarded by an unfriendly robot.

A careful search of the planet, along with a spot of hang-gliding, should provide you with the means of getting past the robot and, hopefully, into the spaceship.

After activating the engines you should search your craft. The articles you find, along with judicious use of Dr. Who's Tardis (!), should be enough for you to find your way home.

Stranded

The graphics are quickly drawn and are the clearest I have seen in an adventure.

As with all graphical adventures, the trade-off between the program size and quality of graphics is something you need to judge for yourself.

Do you choose a complex adventure with limited graphics or an easy adventure with well-drawn graphics? This program falls into the latter category. I liked it.
