Originally released in 1983, the game was a fine example of challenging and dynamic gameplay coupled with state of the art graphics (back then, anyway). There haven't been much changes in gameplay for the new version of the game as players try to steer their craft safely into a choice of several landing bays across a craggy landscape of random proportions.

The remade Jupiter Lander will sport ten levels with the same level of difficulty which stumped so many players back then. The developers have also added a little something extra to keep everyone on their toes. The different landing zones now offer different points depending on where you land your craft - with higher points awarded to the more difficult landing spots.

Players have a choice of playing the original Jupiter Lander in all its C64 glory; eight-color palletes and all. The more contemporary version will feature reworked graphics, complete particle effects and a zoom mode. Whichever poison you choose, both are guaranteed to deliver the same kind of exciting gameplay which captivated fans more than twenty years ago.
