Anyone remember 'Dropzone'?

I certainly do.  Fairly similar to Scramble, except you were a guy with a jetpack, yes?  I'm pretty sure we had that on cartridge!

Yep - that's the one, and it was on a cart - also 'Moon Lander' which was a cart that came with our C-64

Mrs B and I used to hot seat it.

Bawb, you dog, you!!! Oh wait.....you were talking about gaming with your missus. My bad.

Moon Lander. More like Moon Crasher when I played it.

Somewhere, somehow, I woke up in the wrong timeline. I'm pretty sure this isn't even my dimension.

Not Moon Lander! On the C64 it was JUPITER Lander!  ;D

I never knew there was a Luna Lander. I had the Jupiter Lander ROM cartridge.

I'm with Steelie on that one...I played the stand-up arcade version a few times but I think I created more divots in the surface of the Moon than actual game points.

I think that technically, they're called 'Craters'  ;D

I bet y'all remember Impossible Mission!  I bet you can hear Alvin Atombender's voice clear as day: "Another visitor!  Stay a while!  Stay forevaaaahhhhh"
