Go for it Nick, Rescue Raiders has a lot of nostalgic value for me. There
was a conversion called Helichopper on the Amstrad CPC which inspired me to
do my first game written in lovely Locamotion(?) BASIC (nothing to do with
Kylie, sadly). It was was, of course, godawful and had giant spiders in it
for some reason. I still remember the feeling of achievement though. A
proper Yaroze version would be very much welcomed :)

I am planning a Yaroze version of the classic Apple IIe game "Rescue
Raiders".

I don't think many people in the UK will know about it, but it was a big hit
in the US when I grew up. I have been trying to come up with a new project
for some time, and I think a modern re-working of this great game has a lot
of potential. :)
