I remember playing this game back in 79, I think. I used to get up in the middle of the night to play it. I enjoyed it so much that I wrote a version of the game for the iPhone and iTouch :) And I just got it approved today from Apple! Look to your right for the video :) Meteor Mission III.
I remember this game very well! For the sound my pop had to buy this mini amplifier that connected to the cassette tape mini output. It took like 5 minutes to load from the tape recorder but it was a blast! I also loved the other games from these guys (I believe Big 5 Software).
haha, awesome. I remember playing this for hours on an old TRS-80 model III that used to belong to my grandfather. Even wired up my own cassette adapter for that thing so that I could have sound.
You could generate sound with the TRS-80 Model 1. It required an AM radio, but it had sound.
Additionally you could modulate the tape port. I had a fully tricked out Model 1, EI, Disk, Speech Synth and voice recognition. I had also done the lowercase mod on it.
Oh does this take me back. Space bar all the way to the ship baby!

For its day, this was a good game. Home consoles or computers were pocket calculators compared to what you can buy today.

This looks very cool - when I initially clicked on it, I thought it was just an Asteroids clone but it's something else completely.

looks fun. I found meteor mission from the Lunar Rescue wiki (played it on taito legends), a game which this is very very similar to.

It's Lunar Rescue ported to Trash 80...I do not remember sound on the Model 1 - you had mad upgrades, yo.

Yes, all you needed to do was to connect an amplifier to the cassette OUT port. The game programmers had done the rest!

This is actually a clone of the arcade game Lunar Rescue, I think it's called (being too lazy to look it up). I never knew anyone did one!
Thanks for sharing!
