Lander

Lander is a video game in the action genre and published by Channel 8 Software originally released in 1983. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

Lander is a side view single screen game inspired by the arcade game Lunar Lander in which you are a space commander trainee and before getting your wings you have to pass the landing tests. You have to go to four different worlds, Alinduir, Colylini, Delazari and Zolopira, and using gravity to crawl down, go through tunnels and land on three landing pads one at a time. As you fall, you can move left or right, and you can push to slow down or to go up. You have to land on a platform before your fuel levels reach zero or you will lose a life. Once you land on a platform at the right speed, you start again at the top of the screen and try to land on a different platform. If you hit the surface, the tunnel walls or land too fast on a platform, you lose one of the three lives. Four players can play and each player takes turns landing and the next player gets a chance when the last player has lost a life. There are also three selectable skill levels (1-3).

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
