It does have one advantage over most games with escort missions in that no one can expect a cargo container to have good path finding abilities. ^_^ A pretty solid title and quite unique for the time.

As Mark Vergeer said it it is like Defender, but I also like the idea of the game, protecting the other ships. Cool concept. I wonder if the creators of Wing Commander used this idea for their game that came out years later on the PC. Kind of a similar idea but played more like a first person shooter type game.

i grew up with this, i cannot tell me how happy it makes me you found it. even though my sister was always better at this.

Great CoCo original, it used to be one of my favourite game on my CoCo 2. The animation and scrolling is very smooth. The gameplay is very interesting, but I always wished that it had just a little more variation as you progress.
The game's difficulty rises pretty quickly in later levels. Even managing to get all fuel ships to the end of the first level is no easy task. The realist high momentum physics of the ship are part of what makes the game fun, but it also makes it harder to control.

This looks like a graphical version of a text based strategy game I used to play on BBS's called Tradewars. I like the concept of ushering ships to safety. They need to reboot this game.

Cool blast from the past :-)

What a cool concept for a game, I would have loved playing this back then. Actually, I would love to play this one now.

Very interesting game mechanic here. Defender with a twist. Love the idea of guiding a set of fuel ships to safety across a stretch of outer-space that is riddled with asteroids. Love the pace and the planning that is involved in it.
Are there any ports to different systems? Like the C64, Ti99 or AppleII?

@markvergeer I'm not aware of any other ports. When Steve Bjork worked for Datasoft some of their games appeared on the Atari 8-bit computers. But once Steve founded SRB Software the only games I know of to appear on other platforms were ports of arcade titles like Pitfall! II and Super Fitfall!
