Death Satellite (Acorn Atom) walkthrough

Complete walkthrough of the Acorn Atom text adventure “Death Satellite” (1982) published by A&F Software. Notes:- Single letter abbreviations for directions are not understood. The first four letters at least are needed. There are no diagonal directions. Use DESC to get a room description and INVE for inventory. In the game, the book can be picked up and read, allowing translation of the alien symbols. As the symbols simply warn of the dangerous plant, this isn’t needed to complete the game. It is possible to float in space by opening the airlock while wearing the spacesuit, although I don’t know of any way to survive doing this. Also, when teleporting down to the planet to get the fuel you can walk into a maze of tunnels and then out into a huge desert, but no apparent way back. The publishers A&F Software are more famously known for Chuckie Egg.
