The object is to make as many safe landings on the green planet of Saturn without running out of fuel. Type in the program and load the *(X) array. Run it and prepare for a challenge. After the land appears, 3 numbers will appear across the top of the screen. They are (1 to r) score, rate of descent, fuel. To land safely, you must land near the center of the pad with rate of descent between 3 and 7.

TECHNICAL

Use the Keypad as your controls:

1 - Left thrust GO - Abort landing
+ - Right thrust ERASE - Main thrust

Drifting down will lower the rate/descent and the main thrust will increase. Use the 1 and + keys to guide your craft to the center of the pad, but wind may tend to blow you around.

TRIVIA

Arcadian 6, no. 2 (Dec. 22, 1983): 12, 15.

SCORING
Crashing will cost you 500 points, but since aborting a landing costs only 50 points, use it whenever you think you are going to crash. Bonus points and fuel are awarded at the completion of each successful landing depending on your rate/descent and how close you are to the center of the pad.
