Mission Critical (1995)
Mission Critical is a 1995 point-and-click video game made by Legend Entertainment.
The year is 2134, and humanity has spent fifty years at war: the Alliance, a confederation that broke free from the UN's iron grip on technology, is outnumbered and losing. You are the sole survivor aboard the USS Lexington after a catastrophic ambush, adrift near the planet Persephone, where Alliance scientists have located an alien artifact that could turn the tide. A first-person graphic adventure with full-motion video sequences, Mission Critical blends hard military sci-fi with a classical puzzle structure and a story that rewards careful attention to its political world-building.
