Argh! I've always believed in making games challenging at the lower levels, but this is ridiculous.

The scenario is simple. You have to manoeuvre your spaceship down into caverns, avoiding collisions, to rescue six people by landing on the pads.

There are various static objects such as radar and space mines to be avoided.

Venus Voyager 2

Simple? This pilot admits to rescuing one person from the six caverns with his regulation six ships.

The ship responds well, and retro control is easy enough, but I just could not succeed.

The ships can be refuelled in-flight, but this too was beyond me.

This one is for people with better reactions than mine, and a *lot* more patience.
