Monuments of Mars

Monuments of Mars is a third-person puzzle-platform game developed by Scenario Software for MS-DOS and compatible systems.

It is similar to the games Arctic Adventure and Pharaoh's Tomb (developed by George Broussard and also published by Apogee) but uses an unrelated engine.

The player is tasked with rescuing NASA astronauts that have gone missing in the fictional "monuments of Mars".

At the end of the final episode, markings on a "face" object reveal that some aliens were using Mars as a base to study humans from afar, but abandoned it and left their automatic intruder capture system switched on, hence the capture of the astronauts.

The player controls an astronaut who must navigate through twenty levels on the planet Mars to finish the game.
