In STELLAR EXPLORER is a science fantasy adventure game, with a twisting plot and detailed graphical screens displaying the lay out of the area that is being explored. In this adventure you are the captain of a star ship that has just approached an alien space craft in a decaying orbit around a planet. The engines have malfunctioned and you are sent over to help in its repairs. As you move across the screen a portion of the star ship is displayed, showing the surrounding area, crew members, and alien creatures. In STELLAR EXPLORER you will encounter everything that you would expect in a science fiction mystery novel - control centers, air locks, cargo bays, locked and unlocked sliding doors, engine rooms, science labs, and other mysterious areas that can be found on levels that are "off-limits." If you do not know what a certain object is you can point to it with the cursor to obtain a description. Certain areas can not be found without having a map and a durable space suit. Health and oxygen level will be your vital statistics. Different types of scanners are available for detecting nearby objects and life forms - one can never know what's hiding behind a corner. And you will find that STELLAR EXPLORER has an extensive array of armour and weaponry, which will be needed when the situation becomes desperate. This adventure of STELLAR EXPLORER is actually a mystery that needs to be solved, with underlying hidden plots that will unfold as you play the game. Throughout the game you can have interactive conversations with other aliens and your own crew members. With aliens you will have to deal with their primitive English, or use a universal translater in order to communicate at all. You can ask different questions, but watch out! The wrong question could put you in an embarrassing and even dangerous situation. Some aliens will be friendly, others hostile, and others will behave friendly but secretly plot against you. Most will be indifferent and will regard your behaviour as quite strange. But you will need to form your own judgement to determine who to trust, for what you thought was an ordinary mundane mission will turn out to be quite a surprise -- who knows? Perhaps an alien will hatch out of your stomach. PC-SIG 1030D East Duane Avenue Sunnyvale Ca. 94086 (408) 730-9291 (c) Copyright 1989 PC-SIG, Inc.
