This free remake of the classic C64 game Thrust was made in Blitz Basic 2D. Thrust itself was based upon the Atari arcade game Gravitar. In Thrust you must guide your spaceship through increasingly difficult caves to collect the valuable Klystron Pods. After locating the pod, you must attach it to your ship and make your way up again, all the time battling the planet's gravity and the Empire's defensive systems, while keeping track of your fuel supply. Once you have beaten all six levels, the game restarts but adds the extra challenge of reverse gravity and invisible levels. To say that Thrust is a hard game may be true, especially looking at today's games' difficulty levels. But, once mastered it is great game to play. Thrust Deluxe is the original Thrust in all its glory, but with more levels and more features: Six extra levels; Defensive lasers; Pilots to rescue; Destroyable walls; Level password system; Selectable screen resolution; Customizable control keys; Parallax backdrop; Hi-score save; Multiple level demo mode; Rob Hubbard title tune remix. In 2001, a graphically updated commercial version called Thruster was published by Kool Dog.
