Cuthbert in Space

Cuthbert in Space is a video game in the action genre developed by MicroDeal Ltd. and published by MicroDeal Ltd. originally released in 1984. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Commodore 16, Plus/4, Dragon 32/64.

Cuthbert, the game's versatile protagonist, has gone into space this time. In a series of Joust-like levels, he must overcome two stages in each level.

The first is the fuel stage, in which he must fly in his small shuttle from platform to platform and collect fuel pellets. You can only carry one tablet at a time, so you must return each one to the mothership parked at the bottom of the screen. Danger comes in the form of round objects passing horizontally across the screen at varying speeds. You cannot predict at what height they will enter the screen, but they can be knocked down.

The second stage is the loot stage, in which Cuthbert must collect objects falling from the top of the screen, while avoiding the same objects as in the previous stage.

Once Cuthbert has returned to the mothership, they travel to the next level. While passing through space, you may encounter problems, which are handled through a text-only interface. You may have to leave the ship to pick up spare parts, and then return them within a set time limit, or bombs will explode. It's simply a matter of adjusting a set of text coordinates, but the time limit makes adjustment an urgent matter.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
