In Adventure C: Ship of Doom, your ship is pulled onto an alien cruiser by a Graviton Beam during a reconnaissance flight. With help from Fred, your pet android, you must escape the cruiser and stop its humanoid slave mission.

Your objective is to press the control button in the main computer room, solving puzzles and overcoming hazards along the way. The game uses a simple Verb Noun command interface and contains no graphics. Multi-step instructions must be entered as separate commands.
