zwol: stylized sketch of a face in profile (iconic)
[personal profile] zwol

[I played a text adventure back in the 1980s. I had a damaged copy, so the room descriptions stopped about halfway through; somehow I made it to the end by guessing commands possible in any given location. I'd like to try to find a good copy, but I can't remember the name anymore. All I can remember is:

  • It started on a spaceship, which was leaking, and eventually crashed on a planet.
  • The rest of the game was wandering around trying to find a working ship so you could get home.
  • In the process you collected alien artifacts, which determined your score at the end.
  • Fairly early on it started saying "You feel a localized discomfort". If you did not deduce that it wanted you to issue the command PISS, you would shortly die of an exploded bladder.
  • At one point you were captured by a beautiful princess, and could only escape by summoning a monster to eat her.

Anyone have any idea which game this was?
