Advent X-5 -- J.D. Casten -- Antic Computing, 1984 By Dale Dobson, www.gamingafter40.com Trapped on the barren world Klybex-7, the player must gather equipment and make use of a nearby escape shuttle. This is a fairly simple adventure, with just a handful of substantial puzzles, and it's not hard to finish within the "time limit" once you've mapped out the spaceship. It's well-designed, with clear objectives that rarely leave the player foundering over what to do next; the biggest challenge is the tight five-item inventory limit. Solution: GO ELEVATOR SAY EAFOP GO OUT TAKE BOOK FROM CABINET READ BOOK TAKE CARD FROM BOOK DROP BOOK TAKE CONTAINER FROM CABINET LOOK CONTAINER TAKE BANDAGE FROM CONTAINER DROP CONTAINER GO VENT W GET KNIFE W GO OUT LOOK SCREEN (some clues about what lies ahead) GO ELEVATOR SAY UPLEZ GO OUT GO DOOR GET KEY GET PLATE GO DOOR GO ELEVATOR SAY SOURK GO OUT GO DOOR S OPEN BOX TURN DIAL (power is back on) DROP KEY N DROP KNIFE DROP BANDAGE GO DOOR GO ELEVATOR SAY DOWES GO OUT GET GUN W, S GET MASK N, E GO ELEVATOR SAY WESOX GO OUT GO VENT S GO OUT D, E GET SNORKELIZER W, U GO VENT N GO OUT GO ELEVATOR SAY SOURK GO OUT GO DOOR DROP CARD DROP PLATE GET BARBELL GET BANDAGE GO POOL (barbell pulls you down to the bottom) N, N (shark bites you) USE GUN USE BANDAGE S, S, U GO OUT DROP GUN GET KNIFE GO POOL N, N USE KNIFE GET PAPER S, S, U GO OUT READ PAPER (make note of the code, it's randomized each game) DROP PAPER DROP KNIFE GET CARD GET PLATE GO POOL S, S GO OUT GO DOOR DROP BARBELL DROP MASK DROP SNORKEL S, E, U GET BATTERY D GET BAG W, W, U GET FUEL (it's very hot!)
