Space Shuttle

Space Shuttle is a 1-player arcade game for the VIC-20.

You are busy having an exciting game of ludo in a space station orbiting the moon, when suddenly you are informed that a bunch of psychopathic scientists have gotten themselves into a mess down on the lunar surface. It is your job to rescue them.

The player controls a shuttle that is launched from the space station at the top of the screen down to the lunar surface. The player must avoid the meteorite belt, large horizontally moving rocks, and safely land on the surface. A scientist is loaded onto the rescue ship, and the player must return to the station, once again avoiding meteors. After all scientists are collected, the player advances to a stage with faster moving space rocks. The player has 3 lives, and a life is lost every meteor hit.
