Spacestation Pheta
Spacestation Pheta is a video game for the Apple Macintosh computer developed by T&T Software which was originally released as shareware in the late 1980s. It is a fast, multi-screen platform game, with each level (referred to as a "screen") containing features and obstacles such as transporters, ladders, cannons, trampolines, and so-called "materializers". The object of the game is to reach the end of each screen before running out of oxygen.
