Fan remake of the classic Atari 8-bit and Commodore 64 Lucasfilms Games Rescue on Fractalus!

I spent many hours playing the original!

I loved this game!

Did you ever intentionally open the hatch knowing thst the pilot approaching was an alien? Or start the engines before the alien reached the ship and torch it?

[hansolo77]

Not that I recall.  It's been a long time.  I remember the awesome theme music, flying around, shooting what looked like bases, landing and picking up survivors.  Unless they were the aliens you're talking about.

Yeah, watch the second video closely to the end. You'll notice the alien's helmets have a slight green cast to them.

If I recall correctly, if you open the hatch before waiting to see if the pilot knocks or alien starts pounding the windshield, the alien will destroy the ship from the inside.

Oooh wow, yeah I never had an alien pounding the windshield, but I do remember you had to wait for them to knock on the door or you'd die.  Man, I need to play this again lol.
