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

Rescue on Fractalus!, the 1985 Lucasfilm Games title originally released for platforms such as the Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, is being ported to the Amiga by Vesuri. The Amiga version requires a machine with at least 1 MB of RAM (it won't run on an unexpanded A500), has been tested on an A500+ with Kickstart 3.1 and also works on Kickstart 1.3 PAL, and a beta download and source code are now available. The game puts players in a Valkyrie fighter navigating fractally generated, acid-filled mountain terrain to rescue stranded pilots while avoiding hostile alien saucers and ground guns.
