Description Red Alert

A very rare promotional game for Johnnie Walker's Scotch whisky released in 1996, I'll quote Benjamin who contributed this gem:

I have a copy of an obscure game called Johnnie Walker's Red Alert from 1996 that I'd love to share, but I can't find anything about it online!
My father was a fan of the Star Trek adventure games of the 90's and this game is similar. It was released on a floppy disk along with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Red Label whiskey as a promotion.
The player plays a crewman waking from sleep aboard a spaceship; the captain is dead and a bomb is due to go off in 90 minutes. Your challenge consists of a series of puzzles in which you have to navigate the ship's computer to try to defuse the bomb for a chance to win a real prize (back then!).
I have a copy of the game, along with two photos of the front and back cardboard box and the whiskey barcode password required to start the game. It all fits in a 2MB zip file and runs through an MS-DOS emulator such as DOS-Box.

You will need a code to play the game: 5000267014203.
