Released in 1984 by Activision. This game is not really well known. The goal of the game is to land and then detach from your lander into a speedy craft. Next, you fly through a series of obstacles that you can shoot with lasers that kind of steer as you move up and down while firing. The object is to pick up the commuters at the bottom of the screen all while avoiding the objects which move at a different speed than the ground. You also have to be mindful of your fuel gauge as it runs down quite quick. After you pick up all the commuters on the stage, you fly back to your landing point and dock with the lander. Next you take off while avoiding the obstacles again. You start a new stage, the obstacles change, and you do it all over again. The game play is fun and fast paced as most Activision games are. The sound and graphics are pretty good for the Atari VCS. A fun and challenging game. Overall, it gets a 7 out of 10 rating. Not one of my favorite games but fun to play nonetheless.
