Portal (Day 1 of 6) walkthrough (Apple II - Activision)
18June 1st, 2106 - I volunteered for a mission to explore 61 Cygni and my spaceship left Earth on May 24th, 2004. I never reached 61 Cygni. The ship revived me from hibernation 200 million kilometers out from Earth as it returns to the planet. A deserted planet. I can't find any traces of human after the ship landed on Earth. Where did everyone go?
After searching for days, I finally found a computer terminal that I can access. Today is June 1st, 2106 and I hope the terminal will tell me what has happened here.
Based on a novel by Rob Swigart, Portal (http://www.mobygames.com/game/apple2/portal) was an interactive fiction published by Activision in 1986 for the Apple ][. Portal feels more like an e-book than a typical adventure game, as the player does not face any danger from accessing the computer terminal. If you prefer to get a hard copy of the story, you can find it at Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Portal-Rob-Swigart/dp/0595344135
Hope you enjoy the walkthrough!
