Starship Columbus

by Gary McGath

About the Story

The Columbus is Earth's first attempt to reach the stars. Since space travel is limited by the speed of light, the Columbus will take many years to reach the world which is its destination. In fact, you have never seen Earth; you were born on the Columbus, as were your parents and grandparents. The only sight you have had of anything outside the Columbus, even the stars, has been in pictures.

A starship is a place of limited resources, and of late the authorities have found it necessary to impose stern measures to keep the population of the Columbus within acceptable limits. Every person, on reaching maturity, must pass a test to determine whether he is qualified to live as a citizen of the Columbus. Those who fail the test are given a choice: death by laser beam or exile into the Abandoned Corridors, the areas of the ship which are no longer in use.

Although I finished this Game in a few hours, I found it a very enjoyable one to play. I liked the idea of only having a handful of objects to worry about, and the puzzles were all very logical to solve. I got a lot of satisfaction out of playing and finishing this game in one sitting, that I would recommend it to anyone who has a few hours to kill.
