Mars (Aardvark Action Software)

You ship crashed on the Red Planet and you have to get home. You will have to explore a Martian City, repair your ship and deal with possibly hostile aliens to get home again. This is a game recommended as a first adventure. It is in no way simple and playing time normally runs from 30 to 50 hours but it is constructed in a more "open" manner to let you try out Adventuring and get used to the game before you hit the really tough problems. A game by Rodger Olsen and available on both cassette and disk.
