The game is based upon the 1978 concept album, itself based on H.G. Wells' book The War of the Worlds. Gameplay required the player to visit a series of sites in and around London, by moving a person using cursor keys or a joystick, and occasionally making choices such as whether to hide, run or stand still. The game was something of a failure, being unpopular with reviewers because it ran very slowly. The player was often killed (hunger and thirst being common causes of death) and forced to begin the adventure from scratch. Original 2-page magazine advertisements stated 'available for ZX Spectrum' but also had a list of other formats the game was 'to be created for' including the Commodore 64, Oric Atmos, BBC Micro and Acorn Electron but no other versions were completed. ReceptionIn a 1992 survey of science fiction games, Computer Gaming World gave the title one-plus stars of five, advising readers to "curl up with the book instead".[1] References1. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1992&pub=2&id=100 | title=Strategy & Wargames: The Future (2000-....) | work=Computer Gaming World | date=November 1992 | accessdate=4 July 2014 | author=Brooks, M.
