| StarQuest: Rescue at Rigel | Epyx (Automated Simulations) | 1983 | There are humans being held captive by the Tollah, inside of a mining asteroid orbiting Rigel. Sudden Smith has teleported in to find as many as possible before within a 1 hour time-limit. Once found, the prisoner can be beamed back onto Smith's ship. The game seems to have some minor historic significance for referencing the Iran Hostage Crisis which was current news at the time of its initial development. In addition to the plot, one of the enemies is named High Tollah which is phonetically similar to [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayatollah_Ruhollah_Khomeini]Ayatollah[/url] This game came in two different publishings. One was a bootable disk. It was written and distributed in BASIC and thus the non-bootable version required BASIC to be booted or installed on the computer that ran it.
