(whistle, whistle, here boy...) can't find my dog to feed him. What is that down in the quarry? A space ship? Lights, movement, creatures? Who is that coming up behind me? Whoa!!!!!!!
Awaken on an examining table somewhere with bright lights overhead and some kind of surgical looking instruments attached to a large circular holder. Two aliens hovering over me and ...clicking...(talking?). Rumbling, an earthquake? or an explosion? Pass out again! Awaken in some kind of cell -
AND MY ADVENTURE BEGINS........
My mission, to find out all I can about this 'space station' and locate Jenkins, who preceeded me here and has disappeared. Also, to find and disarm the ALIEN's weapon which is aimed at earth - their plans to destroy our planet must be thwarted somehow. And, I must be able to return to earth and warn everyone of the danger we could be facing.
My comments:
The game was easy to install. I had no technical problems with it.
Graphics were good. Hotspots not hard to find. Movement and use of inventory was a breeze.
Puzzles were very hard and I have to admit I used the 'cheat' (shift?) for most of them. It was fun trying to solve them tho and once or twice I even succeeded on my own.
There is a MAZE - TaDa!!! I got seriously stuck there until I got help from Witchen and Jenny. They pointed me to the map from justadventure.com's walkthroughs. I also used and referred to these walkthroughs: gameboomers.com/wtcheats/pcAa anb gameboomers.com/wtcheats/pcTt.
This is a fun game. For me it is a keeper. BUT I am going to post it on Trading Post as a FLOATER. Enjoy.
Love, Betty Lou
