Synopsis

Starship Quest is a science fiction text adventure, and the sequel to Magnetic Moon
The player is Mike Erlin, 2nd Lieutenant aboard the United Planets Survey Services Spaceship, Stellar Queen. After the adventures on the Magnetic Moon, the ship has been ordered to the survey base on Ultima Prime. The Captain of the recently-rescued Stellar Princess relays that they have detected a large city on the planet the Magnetic Moon orbited, which may represent the "vast knowledge" that Jelaine, the High Priestess of the Larrians told the player about. The player's pleas to the captain to investigate the planet go unheeded, and the ship is about to launch to hyperspace. The player has one minute to gather equipment and escape the vessel.
The adventure is divided into three parts, and all commands are via VERB NOUN entry. There is a save/restore feature. |
