The Story

Engine failure... A hyperspace voyage that ends in an asteroid field... Forced to eject, you wander aimlessly in space, until you detect a signal from the Orion Prime.

However, you quickly realise that this gigantic vessel is no longer the jewel of the scientific research fleet that it once was, as you discover that the crew has been decimated by a strange illness...

You must escape as quickly as possible, but to do this, you will have to explore the Orion Prime, understand what has happened on board the vessel, and perhaps even confront it...

About the game

Orion Prime is an adventure game made for the 8-bit computer Amstrad CPC. It is freely available to download, whether you use the the real hardware, or an emulator.

The game is available in 3" and 3.5" discs. We strongly advise the use of the latter, for these reasons :

The 3" version needs 2 double-sided discs.

The 3.5" version only needs one double-sided disc. The side switching is automatic, so you won't bother with it while playing. Also, thanks to the higher capacity of the disc, the game has an enhanced ending.

The game is now available freely on the net. However, it was also once sold as a real packaged version, which contained goodies that you will not find in the downlodable version. It included an audio midi-CD with samples of surveillance recordings and a very special and cryptic negative. Don't ask us to release them, we won't. They were a special gift to those who bought the packaged version.
