Space Island

Unexciting 'graphic adventure' (I'm growing slowly to hate that term) set upon the crudely etched planet of Zyro. Apparently one of your patrolling survey ships has been downed by a mysterious salvo of alien laser fire. Miraculously though, an android has survived this attack, and he now stands amid the wreckage of the craft awaiting further instructions.

With what transpires to be a particularly limited vocabulary you must try and guide the little tin man about the surface of the planet and attempt to solve the riddle of the hostile blast.

The subsequent action (I use the term loosely) is then enacted across a static map with your android artfully represented as a white punctuation mark. Just nudge your marker around the planet and react to the messages displayed.

Yawnsville dad.

As you might imagine I found the thing exceptionally tedious. Progress is slow and the graphic display barely warrants a mention.
