Rigel's Revenge

Rigel's Revenge

"Rigel's Revenge" is a text adventure published in 1987 for the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum home computers by Mastertronic on their "Bulldog" label. It was written by Smart Egg Software using a heavily modified version of the "The Quill", an adventure-authoring package.

Plot

Harper and Elliot, two 23rd-century investigative journalists, have joined an organisation called the Alterian Corps in order to further their careers. They have been sent on a mission to the planet Rigel V which is in a state of war with one region holding out against the Federation troops attempting to conquer it. The Rigellians claim to possess a Doomsday Machine which will enact a terrible revenge if the Federation refuse to withdraw from the planet. Elliot has been smuggled in by the Alterian Corps in the guise of a Rigellian trooper with a mission to locate the whereabouts of the Doomsday Machine and report to Harper who is to follow one week later. Harper has instructions to meet Elliot at night in a certain backstreet in the occupied sector of the town. [ftp://ftp.worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclair/games-info/r/RigelsRevenge.txt]
