Story :
During your travels in space, you are mysteriously caught in a timewarp and find yourself transported to the outskirts of the deserted steel city of FUTURIA in the year 2190.
Futuria is indeed a strange place and has a fully-developed underground. Its only inhabitants are a security force of intelligent Robot patrollers who have hidden your ship.
In order to survive you must successfully deactivate all Futurian Robots, find your spaceship, refuel it and escape.

Never mind. I got it! First I had to notice that the numbers had spaces in between them since some were two digit indicators and some one digit only. Then I had to use/type a verb (from the list in the manual PDF) AND then the password as if I was talking into a speaker (actual graphic on game).

The Disk image drags directly into Mini vMac because it has its own System folder/file within - just like the very old Mac apps used to. Only the password at the beginning won't work even though I read the hints in the manual. I had this game (borrowed) back in 1989 and had the same issue. What is it about the letters that I don't get . . .

Nope, I didn't bid on eBay. No money lately, though if it's more than $20-30, it's out of my league at any time. Really don't know much about these "oldies" except what I find on the internet, which is why I'm here, to learn!

@Gael FR,

Thanks for uploading the photos of your copy, and thanks for purchasing the game! I'll go delete the other Futuria and remove the '-0' from this pages URL.

I've also created a page for Utopia to get us started:

To Maedi : I just uploaded all the best photos (including those from the original page). You could maybe delete the original page and keep this only one. Sorry, I did not see the original page when I uploaded the game yesterday.

To Attila : I am the guy who paid 135$ for the game on eBay ! You are perhaps one of the other eBayers who bid on it and made it increase up to 135$ !?
Do you know anything about UTOPIA ?

Thanks for uploading a copy. We need to import some photos from the original page:

Awesome, that's it ! THROW CUBE => 'Where?' => AT ROBOT => 'Robot explodes' !
Thanks a lot, Daxeria.

You welcome, Attila ! I like the same games than you (Enchanted Scepters, Deja Vu, Transylvania, Futuria,...).
UTOPIA was a sequel to FUTURIA. Did you play it ?
Does anyone have UTOPIA ??

by Attila - 2009, May 1 - 7:51pm

Thanks for uploading this one! These old adventure games are the ones I really crave 'cos I never had the chance when they were new.

Try breaking things up into two commands, like:

THROW OBJECT

Thank you for your help !
