Does anyone remember this space lander type game?

Post by TheShortTimer »

My first post, with many more to come... I really hoping that the experts/historians among you will be able to answer this question for me.

There was a game that I played on the Vic-20, just one time, over 30 years ago and it involved landing a spaceship on alien worlds (with the cursor keys to control the thrusters,iirc) and if successful, you were treated to the congratulatory message, "welcome to your new home." It was a cassette title, by a British software house, I'm certain of those details but beyond that, I can't really remember any other details. Can anyone shed some light on this as I'd love to revisit it?

One thing I can confirm though, it's definitely not Jupiter Lander/Super Lander. :)

Found it!

A little bit of perseverance (and looking through the Vic20tapes gallery) paid off. :wink:

Hey, that looks a lot like the TRADER space ship:
