I remember this on my old Atari exactly the same way!  That game *really*
freaked me out, but it was so fun to play.  However, the aliens were scary
to the point where they sometimes discouraged me from playing the game!
Seeing them were definitely some of the most frightening and memorable
moments I've had in computer gaming history.  In a certain way, I'd love to
see a modern remake of Rescue on Fractalus with today's graphics.  :-)
