Operation Lambda is a IIgs game by Brett Victor.  You can download it
and his other programs from his personal website.

It is without a doubt the best puzzle game for the IIgs since Dueltris.
Excellent graphics, awesome soundtrack, great gameplay.  It didn't see a
wide circulation when it was released, so many people have probably not
played it.

The backstory behind the game is that you must rescue hostages from a
space station.  Each room in the space station contains one or more hostages
and a bomb.  You must rescue the hostages before time runs out, or the bomb
goes off.

Problem is, there are a number of lasers in each room that will fry your
sorry butt if you cross their path.  To rescue the hostages you must move
mirrors in front of the lasers to direct their engery away without frying
yourself or the hostages.

So each room is essentially a logic puzzle, but it is a very entertaining
challenge.  Very well done.  I highly recommend the game.
