An asteroid is on collision course with Earth and it's up to the player to prevent the inevitable catastrophe. "Mission Asteroid" is the third text adventure with graphical illustrations by Sierra. But due to its easy difficulty level it was released as number zero in Sierra's Hi-Res Adventure series. The game's parser only understands simple one- or two-word commands.

About This Game
Earth faces imminent catastrophe as a rogue asteroid hurtles toward the planet after inexplicably breaking free from its stable orbit in the asteroid belt. With civilization's survival hanging in the balance, humanity's only viable option is to intercept and destroy the massive celestial threat before it reaches the atmosphere. You assume the role of an astronaut tasked with the critical mission of launching into space, reaching the asteroid, and detonating it to save all life on Earth.
