5th Quadrant

History of 5th Quadrant

5th Quadrant is a video adventure published by Bubble Bus Software in 1987 for the ZX Spectrum.

After 20 years in space, the explorer ship Orion has been invaded by strange mechanical beings, the Zimen. The four robot crew members (Captain Slog, Plot the navigator, engineer Knut and crewman Bodd) have to regain control before the ship's power is completely drained.

The survival of the ship depends on the teamwork of its crew. Gather the 4 robots on the bridge!

How to play 5th Quadrant

Each of the four robots is located in different areas of the ship. Some can move freely, while others are temporarily trapped in their rooms. There are several control panels that give access to code screens. If decoded, they will unlock matter transmitters and lifts that will allow us to continue moving forward.

When a robot comes into contact with a Zimen, its energy is quickly depleted and can cease to function if it reaches zero. The only way it can be restored is if another robot in the crew transfers theirs to it. Robots can also drop bombs on Zimen to defend themselves.
