Hi there! I've been trying to find out the name of this game for a few years now but I haven't had any luck. I remember playing it sometime in the mid 90s on my home computer. It was basically a 2D interface with very little animation. You would start in a cabin (bedroom?) in a space station, you couldn't see yourself but what your character sees from his eyes. The screen was divided into parts: there were 3 columns in the middle to the left of the screen with different words you had to put together to make your character do something (for example: open - the - door). On the top left I think you could see your stats, on the top right was the room / place your character was in. I remember there was a bar / club area, a garden area, a reception area of some sort, & a gun room where if you tried to fire something you'd get a message that said you were caught by security & sent back to your cabin. The only thing I remember well was one of the cheats: you could go to the garden, turn off the sprinklers, pick a rose then give it to a woman at the reception desk & you'd get something. Does anyone remember anything like this? I did every web search I could think of & still can't find its name. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
