The Space Shuttle "Columbia" leaves base loaded with three uranium fuel packs to refuel the rocket "Argon" suspended in high orbit. The shuttle is unable to reach a high altitude to dock up with "Argon" so an Astronaut has to carry each of the three packs left by the shuttle from low earth orbit through space to the waiting rocket. Space travel can be very hazardous so watch out for those asteroids, satellites as your jet pack propels you through space on the way to refuelling your rocket. On completing the docking of all 3 of the uranium packs on board "Argon" it will blast off to a new screen, with an increased degree of difficulty. There are 3 levels automatically selected for you as you penetrate through the game.
Scoring and play tips:
Points are scored as follows:
2 points for collecting a fuel pack.
2 points for placing the pack in the Fuel Bay of the Rocket.
10 points for launching the "Argon" Plus one extra "Life".
When the Astronaut reaches the rocket "Argon" fuel bays, he must place his pack into a vacant fuel bay without going into the space himself otherwise he may damage his cargo and lose a "Life".
PS: Although the original C16/Plus4 cassette cover was named Lunar Docking the game name on the screen was Lunar Landing.

A really interesting combo of Frogger and some kind of space game
That’s exactly what I thought when my kids played with it.
