Fantastic Journey
By James O'Grady released 2020-08-06
Fantastic Journey is from "Spectrum Supergames" by Richard G Hurley, published by Micro Press in 1984.
From the book:
"News has reached you that Dr Hans Zarkov, founder of the World Peace Organisation, has been rushed to hospital with a suspected brain tumour. A few hours later, this diagnosis is confirmed, and the doctor in charge of the case announces that, due to the position of the growth and the condition of the patient, major surgery is impossible. The only chance of survival for Dr Zarkov rests in the hands of the Ultra Subminiature Research Team.
As the captain of the vessel SS Nautilus, it is your responsibility to pilot your craft, from the patient's leg through his bloodstream to the brain so that your first officer can use the onboard laser to dissipate the cancerous growth.
At first, the job seems perfectly routine, the reducing process works well, and you are injected into the leg without any problems. However, only minutes after your journey commences you realise that you are going to have oxygen and fuel problems, and that your only hope of survival and a successful mission is to collect supplies from the various vital organs encountered during your fantastic journey through the human body."
