There are 3 entrances/exits in each Corvette that you can use both to enter and exit once your mission has been completed. In the decompression chamber, shooting is disabled for safety reasons. The corvettes have restricted access areas, there are access cards distributed throughout the ship that will allow you to enter.-In some missions you will have a set time to complete them, don't fall asleep. We have ensured that everything necessary to complete the mission is somewhere on the ship. In the backpack, you can collect what you find throughout the corvette in each mission. After each completed mission, you will be assigned another mission on a different corvette of that or another model.

You will find more informations on Counterpoint on Banjo's site and also an utility to write icorns for Counterpoint by VileRancor. John Elliott has also a page on Counterpoint.
Today Frédéric Cherpe is working on his Project Counterpoint Hommage (CPH) :
Counterpoint was a graphical user interface found on some Amstrad PC models in the early 1990s. Counterpoint Homage Project (CPH) aims to revive the spirit of Counterpoint. It modernizes this interface while preserving its retro aesthetic. It's as if we were still using Amstrad PCs running DOS in 2025. This project allows enthusiasts to rediscover the unique user experience of Counterpoint in a contemporary environment.
It runs on the 8086 @ 8 MHz with the same sluggishness as back in the day! The user experience is improved with the 386 at 25 MHz, normally like on the Amstrad Mega-PC, but I don't have one to test on. So, for now, there's a VGA version and a CGA Monochrome version. I'm planning to make a 320x200 CGA version later, with a choice of four color palettes.
This interface uses my own scripting language, "Nova Script," the result of many years of work. But I'll probably make lighter versions without this language, for example, for the 8086 and 8088. I still need to write the language selection button, because yes, this interface can be in any language, but right now it will only be available in French and English. Of course, you can manually write the configuration files to set your own language.
I'll also set up a website with a download page for the different versions and a donation page. It takes up a lot of my time, and I'd like to dedicate more time to this project. So, a few small donations would greatly help me offer you more features, etc. I'll also need to write a user manual in French and English; the amount of work is enormous.
