''Yarkon Blues'' is a text adventure that was written by [[Jason Davis]] using the [[Graphic Adventure Creator]]. It was originally written in 1988, but ''[[Amstrad Action]]'''s [[The Balrog|Balrog]] advised Jason that more playtesting was required before it should be considered for release. It was eventually released by [[WoW Software]] in 1990, and was re-released by [[Cronosoft]] in February 2005.
The game sees you playing Rik McQuick, who has crashed his spaceship ''Odour-Eater II'' on the planet of Yarkon. You must help him to repair his spaceship and escape from the planet.
The cover of the Cronosoft re-release is taken from the PC game [http://www.enlight.com/x2/ ''X2 - The Threat''] by Enlight Software.
