Starcross

     Man, for a guy that loves science fiction, I have no idea what I'm doing here.  as seen in the screencast, I barely managed to turn off the alarm.  Every other move I tried to do was not understood.  The game I chose was another Infocom game, Starcross.  Like I mentioned in my last post, it is really hard to play a game with no visuals for me.  Maybe that's due to me being more accustomed to reading comics than books, I don't know for sure, but I tend to give up easily with these games.  Kind of like the Halo games, no control scheme is the same.  There is always something different that throws me off.  Sometimes the game would say there is a small screen, and when I type "look at small screen", it tells me no such thing exists.  I've had this happen multiple times in multiple Infocom games so far, hopefully I get smarter when it comes to playing them.
