The prequel to Macetas. A "hard" Sci-Fi short tale. A crippled ship, a tired crewman.... with some humor twists.

How it begins

You're onboard a small starship, on route to a mining asteroid... and there's an accident. The Master Computer decides to thaw you from cryosleep, because as a Maintenance Engineer you're the only one qualified to make the needed repairs.

Notable features

Distribution file (ZIP) include Z5 game file, intro fiction, instructions, help, source code and Parchment web page to play if you don't have a Z interpreter installed (requires JavaScript enabled). During the game, through AYUDA command you may get further help; PISTAS command gives access to a complete hints menu-driven system.
