Galactic Commander

This is a variation of the Lunar Lander arcade game. There are nine levels of increasing difficulty. Graphics and sound are excellent, but due to Mode 4 the colour is limited. Keys are responsive and easy to operate.

I found this an addictive, challenging and enjoyable game. Level 0 is easy, levels 3 upwards very hard.

The instructions are good but include a few spelling mistakes. No score of hall of fame feature, but an option to play a particular level or go through the whole sequence to achieve a Galactic Commander qualification. Some nice, humorous comments are given!
