Altered Destiny [Retro] [Dos] [adamantalias]

Altered Destiny is an graphic adventure game released by Accolade in 1990 for DOS and Amiga (released in 1991). The game was designed by Michael Berlyn and it uses a text parser interface.

The player assumes the role of a normal middle class man named P.J. Barrett. After a mixup in the local repair shop he accidentally brings home, instead of his, a TV set that belongs to a barbarian warrior. When he switches on the TV he is unexpectedly sucked through the screen into the planet Daltere where he finds out that an alien named Helmar has stolen “the jewel of light” and that this world is in danger. Thus he is forced to take on a mission to free it from tyranny and to save the galaxy.
