Stellar Shuttle

Stellar Shuttle is an action game written by Matt Rutter[1] for Atari 8-bit computers and published in 1982 by Broderbund.

[2] The game is similar to the arcade Lunar Rescue released in 1979 by Taito.

On his way down the player must maneuver through the asteroid belt into one of the narrow landing wells on the planet's surface.

The Addison-Wesley Book of Atari Software 1984 gave it an overall rating C+ and concluded: "Stellar Shuttle is a nicely implemented game with a good graphics and sound effects.

It offers a fine challenge, but doesn't have much depth, becoming repetitious after extended play".
