History

Star Wreck was written using the Graphic Adventure Creator. After its initial publication in 1987, it also appeared in Alternative Software's compilation tape 4-Most Adventures, in 1991.[4]

Storyline

The game takes place in a parody of the Star Trek universe and the player takes on the role of Captain James T. Cake of the USS Paralysed.

Critical reaction

Star Wreck was reviewed by Your Sinclair in December 1987,[5] receiving 6 out of 10. Whilst enjoyable, the reviewer felt that the initial area (the Starship Paralysed) was too open, causing difficulties in working out what's going on.

gollark: Just use webdiscørd?
gollark: well, yes, they inspired apiohazards?
gollark: There is also "BEESJSNPM".
gollark: There is, however, https://www.npmjs.com/package/waspswithbazookas
gollark: So the package `bees` has been taken by a useless package with zero downloads and no updates in 8 years.
