DEATH SATELLITE (A&F Software, 1982)
Notes:-
Single letter abbreviations for directions are not understood. The first four letters at least
are needed. There are no diagonal directions. Use DESC to get a room description and
INVE for inventory. In the game, the book can be picked up and read, allowing translation
of the alien symbols. As the symbols simply warn of the dangerous plant, this isn't needed
to complete the game. It is possible to float in space by opening the airlock while wearing
the spacesuit, although I don't know of any way to survive doing this. Also, when
teleporting down to the planet to get the fuel you can walk into a maze of tunnels and
then out into a huge desert, but no apparent way back. The publishers A&F Software are
more famously known for Chuckie Egg.
