This arcade-style game is like Frogger in space.

The aim is to rescue men stranded on the planet surface and transport them to the mothership somewhere in orbit above.

To do this you are equipped with a Rescue Rover which, using gravity and booster rockets, can be steered to the various launch pads on the planet surface.

On landing, one of the stranded men runs frantically to the Rover and disappears inside.

Unfortunately, the asteroids through which the Rover first travelled now turn into alien space ships. These then drop bombs in an attempt to prevent your safe return.

Failing to dock with the mothership causes the rescued man to fall back on to the planet to his death, with a suitable wailing sound.

As you can see, this is a game with a clearly thought-out story and is all the more impressive for this clarity.

The controls are very responsive and make the game fast and furious.

It is a pity however that there are no "bonus screens" or real changes of visuals, the diet being just another, more difficult sheet to complete.
