Reception
Electronic Games reviewed Rescue in 1982. The reviewer comments: "With Rescue, everything ties together in a neat package that's not only fun to play, but increasingly challenging the further you're able to go into the mission."[1]
gollark: Hmm. So one thing I probably should have tried was compiling in release mode.
gollark: You're only in REM sleep part of the time.
gollark: I don't think dreams actually last for 8 hours.
gollark: But it still isn't much better, apart from at least bothering to block me.
gollark: It turns out that I had messed up a bunch of the minimax stuff in a way which turns out to have somehow slightly worked.
