The Book of Atari Software · 1984Rating: C+
Imagine being dropped into a mountainous area and searching for diamonds. Your are running short of food and water, and must find more in order to survive and continue your search for the treasure. All this must be accomplished in Survival within a prescribed time limit.
The game features displayed elapsed time, changing from day to night and also recording weather changes. There are nine levels of difficulty with the higher levels presenting more hazards, including some formidable predatory creatures. The adventure is text only, however, it does have sound effects, and the background screen color changes. Vocabulary is limited. This adventure should be mapped, and it is best to do so on the easiest levels (diamonds are present only on the higher levels). You can save the game at any time, at which point and score will be given.
Survival, in short, has its high points.
