Rescue on Fractalus! - An 8bit classic is coming to an Amiga near you!

Well this is fantastic news and a real hit to the nostalgia, as Rescue on Fractalus!, the ground-breaking 1985 title originally developed by Lucasfilm Games for the Atari 8-bit, Atari 5200, Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Commodore 64, Color Computer 3 and ZX Spectrum is being ported to the Amiga by Vesuri, offering those that remember playing this all time classic a fresh way to experience it. Just beaware however you need an Amiga with 1 MB of RAM — it does not fit an unexpanded 512 KB A500, and has been developed and tested on an A500+ under Kickstart 3.1; also runs on Kickstart 1.3 PAL.

In this tense planetary simulation, players step into the cockpit of a Valkyrie fighter, plunging directly into the highly toxic, acid-filled atmosphere of the planet Fractalus. Requiring masterful manoeuvring, as the skies and ridges are heavily guarded by aggressive alien saucers and hostile ground-based gun emplacements. The primary objective is a perilous search-and-rescue operation: pilot through jagged, fractally generated mountain peaks to recover stranded pilots and at worse letting a Jaggi pilot into the player's ship which has disastrous results! 

• The game was one of the first two products from the fledgling Lucasfilm Computer Division Games Group led by Peter Langston. David Fox was the project leader and designer. Music was mainly composed by Charlie Kellner (Wiki)
• The game uses fractal technology to create the craggy mountains of an alien planet
