THE HIGHLIGHTS

LUNAR RESCUE

RELEASE: 1979

◼ This is one of the earliest releases on the machine and it holds up incredibly well. You’re initially tasked with dropping down to the moon’s surface to retrieve stranded astronauts, dodging asteroids as you go. Once you have an astronaut aboard it’s simply a case of shooting down the enemy ships that have gathered and getting your astronaut to safety so you can begin the task all over again. It’s a slick cross between Taito’s own and Atari’s .
