I know what it is.

It's Adventure Game Hotspot forum!

Close enough, unfortunately this forum is not in space (yet).

BTW, this game also have you stranded on an unknown planet and a lizard steals an item from you.

Is this based on a science fiction book?

Well, the story in this particular game is set in the universe described in the book that won a couple of Hugo Awards.

It's Frederik Pohl's Gateway 2: Homeworld.  Those staring faces were haunting me, but as soon as you mentioned the Hugos, I knew it was one of the two games in the series.

Yup. Read the books, only played a bit of the games but recognized the scene.

Apologies for the delay, had to take care of an urgent matter.

LadyKestrel is correct, please continue!

How do I get this thing to work?

   

It believe it involves three sets of sliders. One of the first puzzles in.. The Eyes of Ara!

The Eyes of Ara is correct, Bob. Aside from the not-base-ten puzzles, I really enjoyed the game.
