Does anyone remember the game which was out in the 80s for Commodore 64 & ZX Spectrum - it had very simple graphics, much similar to that of Asteroids:-
Basically, you control a space ship, lowering into evermore complicated caves and picking up something at the end of each. You would then have to be very careful in getting it out as it was attached via a long cord-type connection. Steering and thrusting too much would make the thing hit the sides of the caves and you would have to start again.
Think it was called Lunar-Lander or something? Can anyone confirm as I would love a copy on my PC!!!?
Thanks in anticipation

MAME is muti arcade machine emulator. http://www.mame.dk/ look for MAME32. This is what bought me to the internet. I wanted a game called Mr Do. I used to play it for hours in arcades when I was a kid I even tried to buy an arcade machine at one stage. I now have a collection of over 1000 roms that run on MAME. It takes a little reading and a little effort to find the things you are looking for but it is well worth it.

DAZV, thanks for link to download it. Trouble is, it won't run...
Error message reads:-

then it says:-
The GHLAUNCHER.EXE file is linked to missing export DDRAW.DLL

Alternatively there's other versions kicking around the internet. This for example is a direct port of the c64 game, for windows...
