The instructions for Zarm tell you that 'It is quite difficult at first to get used to controlling the craft'. This is something of an understatement - it's quite difficult all the time.

Your task is to pilot your Zarm craft to the surface of a planet and rescue the stranded astronauts. The trouble is that there is a constant swarm of asteroids passing between the ship and the surface.

You must weave left and right to avoid these obstacles at the same time as using your thrust to slow your descent.

Easier said than done. Even at the lowest level the asteroids are too numerous and the thrust too unresponsive. This is a pity since Zarm has very pleasant graphics and good sound.
