StarQuest: Rescue at Rigel description

One of the first versions of the game Rogue, in which the action is transferred to the distant future and added a really interesting plot, so the game is not in any way be called a "clone".

Your hero – superagent Smith (not the one which you think) named Flash who is entrusted with a special mission: to infiltrate the secret base carved into the asteroid, evil race of insectoids called Tollah and release of a certain prisoner named Rigel. Upon arrival, the hero discovers that the prisoners of the aliens is actually ten, and all of them are contained in different compartments of the base. The ultimate goal is to save it and Rigel', but the more people you rescue from captivity – the better; to teleport prisoners to your ship uses a special beam. However, the game is limited in time: to save everyone (or at least part of) the captives, and to leave the base, is not given more hours.

Base newcomers resembles something like a pyramid, and the first location is the top of it (to get out of it "back" is impossible), which has two doors in the following locations, and about the same waiting for you in the future. To return to a previously visited compartments impossible. The game offers not only the battle (in which you just kill everyone we meet aliens and have the opportunity to choose their weapons), but even elements of stealth-action'a. Finally, the Tollah – not only your opponents: you have a meeting with the robots, six-legged creatures cerbanth (less anthropomorphic), and even a huge slug...

Graphics of this game are not very conventional, and beyond the limit, but still it's in here (and more on it will not be a word). The game is very complicated and is only for the true oldhamers, not afraid of difficulties and really difficult games that require not only attention, but also a fair amount of imagination.
