Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Earthrise: A Guild Investigation is a 1990 sci fi graphic adventure game by Interstel for DOS PC's. In the future, the Terran Mining Guild has lost contact with an asteroid-based mining colony of Solus, which is now hurtling uncontrollably towards Earth. You, an unnamed TMG astronaut, are assigned to travel to Solus, land on its surface to ascertain what has happened, and stop the asteroid on its collision course. Once on the surface, you soon find the base overrun with a variety of hostile alien creatures that have killed the inhabitants, and now you must figure out how to overcome them and survive if you are to complete your mission...Earthrise is made in a style similar to Sierra's early titles, with blocky EGA graphics, text parser interface, scoring system, and Everything Trying to Kill You at every turn. It remains obscure, but can be played online at the Internet Archive.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) |

Blundering into a depressurized area without your helmet on will cause your head to swell up and burst like an overripe watermelon. |

Artistic License – Biology: Eric is able to sting the Zeld dozens of times in a row and return to his jar with no ill effects. In reality, a bee would lodge its stinger in another being with one sting and kill itself in the process. Of course, Rule of Funny is in full effect here. |

Chekhov's Gun: The piece of cake you find in the mess hall proves instrumental in killing the final creature. |

Everybody's Dead, Dave: The base is littered with corpses everywhere, giving the impression that the aliens killed everyone. The ending reveals a small contingent of survivors had managed to barricade themselves in the living quarters and were rescued later. |

Bee Bee Gun: Eric, a friendly African bee in a jar, goes absolutely ballistic when you release it in front of the Zeld and proceeds to angrily sting it to death. |
