In the dead of space, something is alive.
A deep space adventure by Sean Clark in collaboration with filmmaker Steven Spielberg.
You've saved the Earth from Total Destruction. Now, Can you save yourself?
An asteroid the size of a small moon is on a crash course toward Earth, and only NASA veteran Boston Low has the expertise to stop it. Along for the ride are award-winning journalist Maggie Robbins and internationally renowned geologist Ludger Brink.
Once the wayward asteroid is nuked into a safe orbit, the trio conducts a routine examination of the rocky surface.

3.5 / 5 stars. It’s optimized well. Played on a SteamDeck LCD.
As long as you're okay with very low-res graphics, somewhat esoteric puzzles, weird clickboxes for essential item pickups, and a single playthrough, this is a few dollars well spent. The story is solid for mid-1990s, and, while not as uproariously funny as some other LucasArts/Lucasfilm games, it still has heart and a few funny moments in the middle...
