This science fiction adventure is set in the year 2186. You, the pilot of a one-man craft, are out looking for black holes. Instead you find an alien ship, which you soon discover is teeming with life. There are creatures of all sorts aboard this vessel, from giant spiders to unicorns to grues. Some of the aliens you'll encounter were trapped here the same way you were, and several of them didn't survive. If you can survive and find all the crystal rods needed to propel the alien ship back to earth, you win the rank of Galactive Overlord. Good luck, because Zork author Dave Lebling has put quite a few tricky obstacles in your way.

Scoring: Points are awarded 25 at a time (except for the last action of the game for which you are awarded 50 points). Actions that win points are highlighted with quotation marks.
