just if anyone is interested, a fan remake of the classic 8 bit title
Rescue on Fractalus. Back then the game was groundbreaking, but by
modern standards it is very simplistic, nevertheless probably worth downloading, the game is fun for a short period of time and the remake definitely a work of love.

This was the first LucasArts (Lucasfilm Games back then) title I ever
played.

I never owned this one in the 8-bit days, and it never made its way to
PC. I only played it through emulation. Aside from the concept (it's a
sort of a first-person "Lunar Lander" crossed with Choplifter's rescue mechanic) I didn't actually find the game that impressive, even
accounting for its age.
It is not anymore by modern standards and not even by the standards of

the early 90s, but when it came out in 82/83 it was really
groundbreaking. I nowadays would consider it more a graphics demo than a
game, but some games simply do not age well especially those who rely on
new graphical effects never seen before for gameplay!
