: Rescue on Fractalus was my favorite game of all time on the Atari 800!
: You were the pilot of a rescue shuttle that had to pick up downed pilots.
: The landscape was generated with fractal geometry, so it was infinitely

: powering down, and letting the pilots board.  Occasionally, enemy pilots
: tried to destroy you ship by smashing the windscreen.  Totally cool game!
