About

In this third installment of the Dan Dare series, players control the titular hero as he escapes Treen captivity on a scientific satellite orbiting Venus. Dan must navigate five levels using teleporters, collect fuel cans for an escape shuttle, and battle Treen enemies with various weapons. The game features a mix of exploration, combat, and resource management, as Dan uses his jetpack to traverse the satellite while managing its limited fuel. Players can purchase weapons through computer terminals and must defeat the Mekon leader to gain access to teleporters. The ultimate goal is to fuel the escape shuttle and flee the Treen satellite.
