Terminal Software has produced a very good version of the Lunar Rescue-type arcade game. The scene depicts an orbiting mothership and a planet surface with three supply dumps. You control a space shuttle which on release from the mothership has to be guided down to one of the supply dumps, negotiating a treacherous asteroid belt en route.

During the return phase in which the shuttle is thrust back to the mothership, you can blast away at the asteroids to chew a path through.

The colour and resolution of the graphics is pleasing to the eye and the control of the shuttle very smooth - requiring some skill and anticipation because of inbuilt inertia. There are seven levels of difficulty and several other useful features. All in all, good value for money.
