WooHoo, a new Atari ST game!
Hibernated 1: This Place is Death is a sci-fi text adventure by Stefan Vogt, and was released for a variety of platforms, along with our lovely Atari ST. We are Olivia Lund, onboard the intergalactic spaceship, Polaris-7, who has awoken from stasis in an abandoned ship that has been caught by an alien tractor beam.
Text adventures aren't often my cuppa tea - my brain needs to be fed visual wonders otherwise, it wanders. But I've enjoyed this rather splendid adventure, with its fantastic sense of humour. The parser is easy to use, with a two-word command system that includes Examine, Get, Open, Search, Move, etc. There are shortcuts: I for Inventory and R to re-describe the current location. Medium resolution is supported, but oddly not monochrome... The docs advised making a map, and that is a very good idea!!
Hibernated 1 is possibly the first of a new trilogy that can be downloaded and bought. Name your own price - which is a wonderful idea - thus play before you pay. Are any interested adventurers lurking?
