First of all, hi to you all smile.

Ok, well i've been lookin for this game for quite some time and it seems posting on this forum would be the closest i have been to acquiring it to this day.

back in junior school (6-10 years old) we used to have acorn machines and the really old BBC machines and the acorn machines all had a game called Planet Land installed on them, i dont know if there has been another name for it and that is the reason i cannot find it but i would like to know if anyone knows anything about this game.

basically you played a little moon lander and had to get around a maze by tapping a button on your keyboard to give you upwards thrust, you had to land on a little platform. i loved this game and would like to know if anyone knows anything of it. if so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I loved this game- once you completed all the levels the gravitational pull was increased ad nauseam. (I think I got up to 4x)

I have a copy if you like.

Thank you so much, i'd love a copy of the game.

It looks similar to that but has more of a maze like structure. Thank you anyway smile

Here you go. You'll need to change the Set Type to 'PackdDir' and will need a copy of PackDir to open it.
