Orion Prime is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Targhan of Arkos and Supersly of Les Sucres en Morceaux, and was released by Cargosoft in 2009. The game involves the player docking with the Orion Prime spaceship and exploring it. Initially, the spaceship appears to be abandoned, but the player will soon discover that something very sinister has occurred on board, and he must find a way to escape. The authors have claimed that it is "the best adventure game ever made on the Amstrad CPC".
As of March 2010, only the French version of the game is available as a free download. Physical copies of the English, French and Spanish versions, for use on an actual Amstrad CPC, can be ordered before 30th April 2010 from the Orion Prime web site. A German version was also planned, but it is unclear if it will ever be released.
Release
Orion Prime was initially only available in French, and in limited quantities, on either two 3″ or 3.5″ discs for use on an actual Amstrad CPC. The discs came in a DVD case, along with extra items such as an audio CD and a newspaper article. The price of this package was €10. The first batch of orders were posted to customers on 16th September 2009.
The French version of the game was then made freely available to download for use on either emulators or an actual Amstrad CPC on 28th October 2009, in both 3″ and 3.5″ disc formats.
3″ and 3.5″ disc versions of both the English and Spanish versions were available for ordering from 15th March 2010. The French version was also re-released due to high demand. However, the cost of the package was increased to €15.
