When me and my brother in law first played it, was in a monochrome monitor so hard to tell the helmet color. Shocked the hell out of us. My little nephew would play, and whenever he’d landed to pick up a pilot he’d run and hide behind a chair until he knew it wasn’t an alien. 😂

Man, I imagine kids playing that game back in the 80s. It must've been mindblowing considering how humble were the consoles back then. Lucasfilm really took full advantage of this technology and made a very original game. Even the cutscenes are really good. Some people said that when the alien attacks the ship it was sort of a jumpscare moment.

Nice seeing this posted here! The B&W launch sequence, animated by Jim St. Louis, was created for the disk version. We had to add Epyx's copy protected disk loader - it took so long to load that we wanted to offer something fun. Jim's specialty was doing shaded metal effects in lores. Check out the robot he did in Koronis Rift, our 2nd gen games that also used the fractal landscapes pioneered for Rescue (by Loren Carpenter, now of Pixar).

This was one of the first games i played on my Atari when i was about 5 years old. Me and my brother had no idea the aliens were in the game and at the time there was no reason to believe games could even be scary. When that first alien appeared i fell out my chair crying. What a time :D

A few details on the game's development from one of the programmers, David Fox (future lead programmer on Return to Monkey Island), revealed over Twitter: - The aliens masquerading as pilots was added to the game later in production at George Lucas's suggestion. They deliberately left out this mechanic in the instruction manual and in marketing so players would be taken completely off-guard. - The symbols on the alien's uniform are the initials of the programmers' names rotated on their sides. This was back when Atari didn't allow in-game credits, so this was the developers' workaround (LucasFilm was allowed to credit them in the manual, however.) - The box cover features several pilots, all played by Fox himself. For one of them, he made sure to show his wedding ring for dramatic effect.

To most people LucasFilm (by 1991 changed to LucasArts) is Monkey Island, Loom, Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and later The Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle and Sam and Max. For me it's Ballblazer, the Eidolon, Koronos Rift and this one. That's because in 1985 my father bought an Atari 800XL and I saw advertising in magazine like Compute! and Family Computing for these games. Too bad I never got those games because they featured great graphics for an Atari 8-bit. I never heard of Monkey Island, Loom and the likes because our family couldn't afford a PC so even then (1990) I still had the Atari, as well as an even older TI-99/4A my father bought at the end of 1981. It also happened that I stopped buying those magazines by 1988 when they stopped featuring BASIC programs for all platforms so I couldn't see advertisements for new games.

I used to play the hell out of this game. Once I had the quota of rescued pilots, and the mothership was in range, I'd purposely let a Jaggi alien into the ship. He pounds the piss out of your ship from the inside, but won't destroy it unless you turn the systems on. BUT, you can hit the booster to return to mother ship. The Valkyrie has a hard time getting up there with the alien still slugging away in the back, but eventually gets killed. Not sure how, but someone back there must have kicked his ass inside out, lol.

I have no doubt you're correct. The original cartridge we did for the 5200 didn't have the opening sequence. When we decided to deliver the 800 version through Epyx, we added the B&W launch sequence to cover the long disk load. So if it's also on the 800 cartridge, that must have been released afterwards.

Moments in this game which sucked (even though the game itself was the furthest thing from "suck"): 1) Opening the airlock and letting the alien pilot inside. 2) Turning on the shield by accident and frying a friendly pilot. 3) Running off to grab a snack while there's a pilot running up to your ship, then coming back just in time to watch the alien pilot punch a hole through your windshield. 4) Turning into a mountainside while you're cruising around at full speed and burying your ship in one hit, all because you were too big of a dumbass to check your Wing Clearance Bars before turning. Good times, in a masochistic sort of way. Good times. :-D

You know, one of the things I like about LucasArts games is how they throw in little references to other LucasArts games. Does anyone else here remember using the telescope in Maniac Mansion, specifically what would happen if you turned it to look at the moon instead of the other part of the mansion? :-D
