Help Me Remember Space Text Adventure!
This is a weird one, because it's not a game I played as a kid, in fact I only discovered it about a year ago.
I have forgotten what it was called, and with the entire WoS archive to hand, it's like a needle in a haystack!
You are being held prisoner on a spaceship or space station of some kind.
You start off in a cell, and there are laser 'bars' blocking the exit.
These are defeated by picking up a tin mug from a sink and throwing it at the bars.
If you get caught by a guard, you get thrown back in this cell and have to start over.
There are guards, a uniform that can be picked up and worn, and there are color coded floors with an elevator that allows you to move between them.
I think there are color coded pass keys too.
You can visit a laboratory and a workshop, and there's a pistol you can pick up but it's broken.
Does any of this sound familiar?
It's driving me nuts!

You're probably going to chuckle, but for a second I did think of Earthbound, but I assumed I was thinking of the Mother series of games and dismissed it.
Quite enjoyed playing this one a while back. One of the few completed text adventures in my lifetime, surprisingly not too difficult.
