A sci fi text adventure in which you are an amnesiac secret agent lost in a spaceship of dangerous rebels orbiting around the earth. You must, of course, discover your mission and succeed in it.
The playability is pretty good, I managed to map all the three levels of the spacecraft, discover some useful items and solve a couple of puzzles, so I can say that the game is pleasant, although I didn't find it, until now, very engaging. All and all, it seems a nice a text adventure.

3,5/5

Not a bad little adventure written with the Quill. You're a secret agent on an enemy ship - your mission is to escape to earth and shoot it down out of space.

It's quite short, and has a slightly 'unfinished' feel to it - I managed to complete it but only scored 45%(?). It's fairly easy, apart from a couple of occasions when you have to use some very specific verbs.

One final thing - it's nice to see an text adventure that makes decent use of the 'HELP' command, giving generous hints pointing you at the right solution.
