Game cover: Stranded!

Description

Stranded! is a science fiction text adventure for multiple systems.

The year is 29,354 and the place is Luxodon, a tiny planet in the Smoothandcreamy Galaxy. Luxodon once thrived as a center of high technology, but when over-production destroyed its computer industry, war waged across its green skies. The survivors rebuilt a peaceful society on the ruins of the planet's technological past. Looking for adventure, and lacking sufficient funds to buy a ticket, the player has concealed themselves in a small cupboard on board a cargo ship, the Starfighter Etoile.

The player escapes from the starfighter, but then finds themself enslaved on an alien planet. On the alien planet, the player must work, eat, and sleep every day. The player must work themselves up through ranks of slave, slave leader, soldier, centurion, Baron's man, and finally Baron, by killing off their superior at each stage of the game.

There is a save and restore feature, and all commands are via VERB NOUN entry.
