Alive ....Behind the Moon....

DOS 1996
On the face of the moon moving away from the earth an unknown cosmic element causes atmospheric changes. So James Butterfield, a disgraced, fired astronaut, flies with his friend Sven to the moon to check out the situation and get a million dollar reward. Of course, the spacecraft crashes. So the first task is to find medicine for the injured Sven. Once this is sorted out, James explores the moon and meets many alien peoples such as the Gouaks, Wounks or Amazons. The user interface consists of many windows. The main window is at the top right, where a picture of the current view or the conversation partner is displayed. There the player can click on objects to pick them up or use inventory items to solve puzzles. Some objects are shown in a close-up view in a window to the left of the main window when clicked on. There they can be manipulated further. Above this window is a mini map. Below the main window is a panel where you can choose the main actions, e.g. look, talk or fight. To the left and right of this panel are the inventory screens where you can use and combine items. Finally, on the far left are bars showing the current health, fatigue, toughness and hunger statistics. These should be kept at a reasonable height by eating, sleeping, etc. When talking to someone the interfaces change to another screen where to the left of the main windows the possible answers can be chosen. Below the main window the other person's statements are displayed. Death waits behind every corner, a step in the wrong direction, a false answer or a lost fight leads to an individual game over screen.
