On A Distant Moon

You're a long way from home and you've run out of fuel. There's a research station on a nearby moon--perhaps you can find help there? Things couldn't possibly get worse!

• Classic non-linear ZZT gameplay, with a blend of action and puzzle-solving
• Quirky and touching original story
• Over six minutes of original PC speaker music and full-screen ASCII animation
