About Lunar Rescue

Taito's Lunar Rescue blends flight simulation with shooting mechanics. Players launch a lander from a mothership to navigate through six rows of asteroids. Success requires reaching one of the initial six landing platforms to rescue astronauts; however, each successful landing consumes a platform, reducing the available landing zones as the game progresses.

If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.

Open Play on this page to start Lunar Rescue. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
