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".

Currently, the game is only available in French, although versions in English, Spanish and German are also planned for release.

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.
