Lifeboat

Lifeboat, also known as Lifeboat: A Waterlogged Adventure, is a text adventure that tests your seafaring skills for the Commodore 64. It was developed by Anthony Mario and published in Commodore Magazine 1989/04, as well as in Loadstar #059.

Lifeboat is a small interactive adventure game which has most of the features you're accustomed to in text games. You use verb-noun commands like "Go House' or "Take box". If you want a two word noun, such as oil can take the second word, eg. "Take Can". Common text adventure abbreviations like N,S,E and W work instead of the full directions and U and D for up and down also work. Now you just need to figure out if you are on an ocean liner or a spacecraft.
