Trying to remember a game.

Hi folks,

Many years ago I vaguely remember playing an RPG that was set in a
space ship.

From memory I seem to remember that it was a huge generation ship that
had gone through some sort of radiation? disaster that had killed off
most of the crew and colonists. The ship was shaped like a huge egg,
and had numerous (17 springs to mind for some reason) decks or levels
which could be traversed and searched with the aim, I think, of
finding the control centre.

Does anyone recognise this game, and if so do you know anything about
it.

Many thanks,

Dave

Purely FYI, there was a remake of it some time ago called Metamorphosis
Alpha to Omega using the Amazing Engine rule set.

Additionally, there is a "brand new" (a few years ago) remake of it as well
by the original creator (James Ward).

Here's a site detailing the editions:
