Trivia
Development
The game was published to capitalise on Halley's Comet pass by Earth in 1986 which was generating a lot of public interest in astronomy. Although the game was released in 1985 before the Comet was visible, the publishers did not mail out the code for the final mission until January 1986 which caused some consternation with players who were forced to wait to complete the game.
