The Skyland's Star story:
The Earth is in desperate peril. The rapid growth in population and
need for energy has all but depleted the world's fossil fuels.
Science has been unable to replace them with a safe and reliable
alternative. You, a member of a small group of scientists, is
recruited to travel into the future to witness how the problem was
solved - in the past. The bulk of the game takes place here, in a
major metropolis of the future. You must discover how the future
solved the problem and retrieve the necessary information and items
for the present to survive the crisis, so that the future you
witnessed can exist.
System requiremens:
* IBM PC/XT/AT or clone with 640k RAM
* DOS 3.3 or above (or VDM under OS/2 2.x)
* 750k disk space
Skyland's Star won Grand Prize in the 1989 LAUSD/Rockwell International
Computer Science Competition.
