Box back I’m the stranded pilot waiting to be rescued. A never used photo for the manual of me holding my helmet (one was used with me wearing the helmet). The one physical souvenir I have from that day is the helmet. A painted motorcycle helmet with turrets from a model tank set glued on the sides.

@DavidBFox Do you still wear the helmet occasionally?

@DavidBFox re Rescue on Fractalus: I had it on my old Atari 800! Very very fun. My friend had the same game but with a different title: Behind Jaggi Lines.

@DavidBFox I bought this as part of some kind of collection on C64, together with Koronis Rift, The Eidolon and Ball Blazer. 3D graphics were absolutely fascinating at that time.

@DavidBFox your head's not green so you're not going to scare the crap out of me.

@DavidBFox I've fond memories of being a single digit age and playing this with the lights turned off, and getting jump-scared through the ceiling when the aliens show up.

@DavidBFox That alien scared the absolute bejesus out of me the first time it popped up.

@DavidBFox Awesome that you still have it! It certainly makes for a great museum piece and I'm sure a gaming museum would be happy to put that on display 😍👏
