About the Story

Revisiting Main Course to make it available for retro 8bit machines like the ZX Spectrum!

A small freighter shoots through hyperspace towards Earth.

On board is a precious cargo, drugged to sleep through the journey.

A SoMorph.

In an inebriated state, a SoMorph is the size of a tennis ball, and quite harmless.

This is how pilot Alan Davies found the SoMorph.

Neither he, nor his artificial cat companion Mr. Jones, realise the danger they are in.

Six days into the month long journey, the SoMorph is waking up. With a hangover.

Uninebriated, a SoMorph is two foot tall, purple, with tentacles and a single, central eye.

Its mouth can morph to eat any creature. It has eaten humans before. Absorbed their language and limited knowledge.

Now the SoMorph is waking up.

And it wants to go home...
