Producer: C.R.L. Memory Required: 16K Retail Price: £5.95 Language: BASIC & some m/c Author: B. Rowlingson Lunar Rescue is, of course, a 'Lunar Lander' game, where you must guide your rescue craft down from the mothership to the moon's surface to collect stranded astronauts one at a time and take them back to the mothership. In this version the moon is surrounded by a dense belt of asteroids, five layers in fact, moving in two directions and at differing speeds, through which the craft must be guided. Below, there are three landing places - a small, medium and a large one. With each successful landing, the large and medium landing areas become smaller, making a docking harder. The ship is undocked from the mothership by using the thrust button. Take off from the moon's surface is automatic after an astronaut has climbed on board. If you rescue all six astronauts, the next level has more asteroids. COMMENTS Control keys: 1/2 = left/right, 0 = thrust Joystick: none Keyboard play: fair Colour: very poor Graphics: primitive Sound: unimaginative Skill levels: 1 Lives: 3

A wing nut in the sky and cafe tables on the ground - poor Lunar Lander.
