Synopsis

Plot

In this highly-educational (or so the notes that accompanied the game proudly announced) game you get the chance to play EDMOND, an accident-prone electron. Edmond has not had a very good day so far and in fact has crash-landed his 'orbital' (whatever that is!) on the city of ELEKTRONZ which lies a long way from his home. The problem now is just how is he going to get home and just how does he go about obtaining the means to do just that?

Your task is simple ... just guide EDMOND around ELEKTRONZ and help him find his way home. In the process of doing that you will get to know everything about the life of an electron.

Notes

The Spectrum version was published by Delbert the Hamster, whereas the Amstrad CP/M version was published by The Adventure Workshop. Both were created with the PAW.

It's possible that an Amstrad tape version, created using ADLAN, was produced by Simon Avery for The Adventure Workshop. This version is not currently archived.

In 2019, an official port of the PAWS game was created using DAAD for the Spectrum and C64. In 2023 the game was adapted to run in a browser through jDAAD. New builds were also created for MSX1, MSX2 and Amstrad PCW.
