'''''Orion Prime''''' is a point-and-click adventure game developed by [[Targhan]] of [[Arkos]] and [[Supersly]] of [[Les Sucres en Morceaux]], and was released by [[Cargosoft]] in 2009. The game involves the player docking with the ''Orion Prime'' spaceship and exploring it. Initially, the spaceship appears to be abandoned, but the player will soon discover that something very sinister has occurred on board, and he must find a way to escape. The authors have claimed that it is "the best adventure game ever made on the Amstrad CPC".
