Lunar Rescue DescriptionPlayer controls a lunar lander module that must navigate through a field of asteroids to the bottom of the screen, rescue an astronaut by landing on a plateau, and travel back up to the top through a swarm of flying saucers.Know anything more about this game? ConversionUses hardware similar (or identical) to Taito's Space Invaders and supposedly a ROM swap will convert one game to the other.MiscellaneousAfter an anton pillar summons was issued by Taito, Lunar Rescue was licensed to Video Games U.K Ltd.VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYUncommon - There are 16 known instances of Lunar Rescue owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 10 of them are original dedicated machines, it is a conversion in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 5 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired. Wanted - There are 3 VAPS members currently looking for Lunar Rescue. For Sale - There are 4 VAPS members with Lunar Rescue machines for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TechnicalThe graphics are essentially monochrome with a separate circuit that gives color to rectangular sections of the display.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Lunar Rescue Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Taito.
