Space Farming Game Agent Orange for ZX Spectrum

Agent Orange is a space simulation game developed by Icon Design Ltd and published by A'n'F Software in 1987. The game places players in the role of a space farmer, part of the Intergalactic Agricultural Research Establishment (IARE). The storyline involves a mission to find an alien weedkiller, codenamed 'Agent Orange', to combat weeds on other planets.

The gameplay involves navigating a mothership and its daughter vessels across eight planets. Players must plant and harvest crops while avoiding or destroying alien threats. The ultimate goal is to reach the eighth planet and collect the alien weedkiller to free other worlds from weeds.

Players can sell harvested crops to upgrade their ships, enhancing speed, armament, and capacity. The game emphasizes strategic resource management, as overloading ships can lead to crashes or jettisoned cargo.

The visual design utilizes the color spectrum to indicate crop growth stages, inspired by John Conway's game "Life." The game supports keyboard and joystick controls, offering various options for ship management and planetary navigation.
