Beyond the Titanic

Surviving the most famous maritime disaster in history almost seems irrelevant in this tale of buried alien spaceships and abandoned futuristic cities. The story is cute but rather linear, with a less-than-completely-satisfying ending. Nice use of randomly-appearing scenery to enhance the sense of loneliness and danger, a small maze or two, a limited light source, hunger, PC Internal Speaker sound effects, occasional fatal errors and misspellings. Saves only to drive B, but this can be overcome through the MS-DOS SUBST command.
