An odd choice of keys for moving Joey around... The pause between changing rooms is also sometimes frustrating. Read Review

Full Instructions
The Game
Escape From Moonbase Alpha is a 3D, graphical adventure game in which you must use your skill and judgement to stay alive, collect treasure and find the Doctor and effect your escape. After the instructions have been displayed after the final part of the program has loaded, there will be about a ten second wait while the game is set up.
You will not be able to pick up the bags of gold if there is a monster in the room with you.
In an emergency, you can take a Hulk pill which doubles your strength for five seconds and allows you to walk through the walls (at a cost of 100 strength units).
There are many friendly and unfriendly monsters in the adventure and you will soon learn which ones to fight and which ones to avoid.
Good luck!!
