Synopsis

Plot

The year is 2882, you are investigating a derelict starship, abandoned in deep space. The moment you enter you smell the stench of the infamous space gorn!

The space gorn is an 11 foot tall lizard-like creature with a thick scaly skin and a razor sharp, whip-like tail. Gorns are well known for their enormous appetites and also for their ability to regurgitate streams of corrosive motor oil like saliva to digest any prey up to 20 metres away.

Your mission is to find and destroy the space gorn before the ship's power runs out.

Notes

Described as "more of a gag than a game" by the author, it was originally made for Apple II, and published on issue #8 of the Softdisk disk-magazine in 1982. It later appeared elsewhere, such as on the Washing Apple Pi (#164)/Big Red Apple Club disks.

The game is subtitled Chiang Mini-Adventure #1.

The original date listed in this entry for the C64 version was 1986, which is when a port of the game appeared on Loadstar, issue 20.
