River Rescue is an action game for the VIC-20 published by Thorn EMI Computer Software in 1982.

[4] The player guides a boat along a river, which scrolls from right to left across the screen in a top-down view.

The boat must avoid colliding with various hazards in the river - these include small islands, crocodiles and logs.

Alternative Software acquired the rights to the game when Creative Sparks Distribution went into receivership in 1987.

[5][6] Their subsequent budget release of River Rescue reached number 4 in the Gallup Atari 8-bit chart in 1988.
