· Pros:  A fun game to play over and over again

· Description:  A product of Cleanware LDS games and software
                         Many choices from the original game to 10 different scenarios.
                         In the original game you are Elder Hero and you have different goals to accomplish on each chapter before you can advance to the next chapter.
                       There is a time limit to each chapter and each chapter becomes more challenging.
                       Some of the different scenarios are for fun without goals with the challenge being earning money and keeping visitors happy.
                       One scenario has you answer 50 questions to pass the scenario
                       A couple of the scenarios have you fighting of asteroids.

· Review:  This is a fun computer game.  My boy’s ages 8-12 have really enjoyed playing it.   The game is challenging enough for the older child but simple enough for the younger child.  The alien speaking gets annoying to me but my boys really like hearing it.  From the title I thought it would be more of a Book of Mormon adventure game but it isn’t. It is a fun outer space game where the player gets to be creative and decide what to place on their space station.  The only draw back I see is that it doesn’t teach as many gospel principles but through the visitors questions it does teach from the scriptures, my boys have gone to the scriptures to find different answers.  Overall this is a fun game for the family to play.
