The Orion Conspiracy - Domark
           (Graphic adventure for PC and CD-ROM)

           CD-ROM version reviewed by Dave Stone

Can a graphic adventure score -1?  Half way through this appalling
adventure that would have been generous.

I first tried it on a 386, the SVGA graphics stood still!, and
there was no sound due to Domark's failure to supply appropriate
drivers.  After six months, and a P120 Upgrade, it ran slightly
faster, but with astonishing delays loading each screen. The sound
at least was now working.

The game rates itself as 18 due to strong language. (ie the
childish use of 4 letter words to try to compensate for the poor
quality dialogue).

The first half involves the tediously slow exploration of a space
station with lots of very similar locations. Eventually you find
some action and the game starts to play like a poor interactive
adventure, ie the plot unfolds for you - the only interaction
involving lots of slow walking round the Space Station. The story
does however pick up as the horror element unfolds.

Possibly the worst Graphic Adventure in the world - avoid.
