Lunar Rescue (Taito) 1979 Vertical Screen

Moon lander - shooting game running on space invadershardware.
The objective of Lunar Rescue is to guide your Lunar Landingcapsule to one of the landing sites on the moons surface, guiding it through abarrage of horizontally moving asteroids, where you then puck up a strandedAstronaut. Having rescued an Astronaut you must then take off once more andascend the screen to the waiting mothership whilst avoiding the fire of a fleetof flying saucers which have now replaced the asteroids. You can also shoot downthe flying saucers.
The lunar landing part of the game may sound likeAtari's Lunar Lander but it doesn't have any of the physics. You fall at aconstant speed and activating the thrust only reduces you to a slower fixedspeed. Never the less the game is quite fun.
