A walkthrough of the ZX Spectrum game, Return to Eden. A 1984 text adventure from Level 9, and the second part of the Silicon Dreams Trilogy. You play Kim Kimberley and have just saved the interstellar transport, Snowball 9, from disaster. Unfortunately the control room vidcams show a different story. Kim seems to enter, hurl a bomb and the room is engulfed in flames. The evidence is damning.
Forced to flee, you just reach a stratoglider life-boat before the waldroids close in. And one hour later you become the first human to land on planet Eden.
Snowball 9 is in orbit, crewed by people who believe you to be a murderer. The only civilisation on Eden is a robot city far to the east. And the planet is reportedly populated by furiously-hostile beings of every kind: only ceaseless vigilance and hi-tech weaponry prevent them over-running the city.
