''Yarkon Blues'' is a text adventure that was written by [[Jason Davis]] using ''[[The Graphic Adventure Creator]]''. It was originally written in 1988, but ''[[Amstrad Action]]'''s [[The Balrog|Balrog]] advised Jason that more playtesting was required before it should be considered for release. It was eventually released by [[WoW Software]] in 1990, and was re-released by [[Cronosoft]] in February 2005. A sequel, ''[[Yarkon Blues II: Space Station Zebra]]'' was released in 1992.
The game sees you playing Rik McQuick, who has crashed his spaceship ''Odour-Eater II'' on the planet of Yarkon. You must explore Yarkon and help him to escape from the planet.
