Originally released in the 1980s by Artic Computing, Ship of Doom was the third in a long and successful line of adventure games for the 8-bit computers of the day. Most fans refer to the game as “Adventure C”, with the follow-up games known by their subsequent letters.
These text-based adventures are generally considered to be the first successful games of the type on the then-new range of home microcomputers and thus rightly earn a place in any “Hall of Fame” list; their popularity kickstarted a whole new genre of game that is still enjoyed to this day. Yet no matter how advanced the adventure games of today may seem, their evolution can be traced directly back to Artic’s ground-breaking series.
This lovingly remastered version published by Pixel Games is faithful to the original, offering retro fans and casual gamers alike a chance to experience the same thrill as the first generation of players did back in the day. However, rather than typing in the commands manually, a brand-new interface is provided for the user, allowing full enjoyment of the thrilling story without the frustration of a mis-typed command.

According to the original instructions:
Adventures are games in which you explore and discover a strange new world without leaving the comfort of your chair. The computer will act as your puppet, eyes and other senses.
In each location you may find objects which you can manipulate and use in further locations to help you progress on your adventure.
In Adventure 'C' while on a reconnaissance flight, your ship has been drawn
by a Graviton Beam onto an Alien Cruiser. Fred, your pet android, informs
you that the cruiser is on a Humanoid slave mission, its aim to seek out
Humanoid planets from which samples are taken and their brains replaced by
microchips.
Your aim is to free your ship by pressing the control button in the main
computer room. Sounds easy. However, there are various hazards.

GOOD LUCK!!!
