Stuck in Space
Commodore 64 (publisher unknown)
Despite the lack of a loading screen and details of your task, the game's title says it all. Your aim is to return to Earth. The game has a limited parser (verb, noun), somewhat cryptic "help" responses and a very English sense of humour.
Up, examine device ("As you look at it you press a small button."), look (the object is an interstellar radio which will entertain you with a wide variety of old pop songs, but there is no need to take it with you), north, get barbell, west, examine beds, jump beds, drop barbell, look, get spring ("bedspring" is not recognised), get card, examine spring, examine card (5 credits). You will not need all five credits, so head east and insert card to play the game.
West, south, get curtain, get gloves, wear curtain, wear gloves, east, north, east, examine dishes, wash dishes, examine dispenser, look, get opener, get plug, get knife.
West, south, unscrew panel ("with what?"), knife, look, examine fuse, insert spring ("a voice calls out 'good morning, everybody"), say home (or Earth) - the response is "Now, you know that you can't go anywhere with the place in such a mess".
East, examine engine (note the hatch and the coolant hole), open hatch, west.
South, examine pedestals, examine beam,. get bowl, squash frog, get ferret, east, get canister, examine canister, get rifle, (you can try pushing and pulling various levers, switches and buttons here, but they are all red herrings, as is the helmet).
West, north (you cannot while carrying the canister), west, examine control, press button (hmm, nothing happens yet), up, drop canister, press button, 9 (engine room).
East, north, west, pour bowl (not yet), insert plug, fill bath, pour bowl, wear bowl, north, make bed, east, east, remove curtain, dry dishes, ("with what?"), curtain ("it's non-absorbent"), shoot dishes, west, south, say home (the ship needs energy).
East, wear curtain, get canister, open canister, get crystal, examine crystal, insert crystal (the engine begins to hum), west (you cannot), drop canister, west.
Say home ("You must have been born in a barn."), east, close hatch, west, say home ("If I did that I would overheat."), north, east, insert card, 9 (glass of milk), west, south, east, pour milk, west, say home (and you're back on Earth where you can see two aliens locked in a car, but it is still raining).
