Just to round out your nostalgia trip, why not play one of the two extra bonus games "TANKS!" and "JETS!".
Created by Jeff Minter, one of the most experienced designers in this genre (creator of "Tempest 2000" and "Llamatron), Minotaur Rescue is the first in a planned series of games called the Minotaur Project.
The aim of the Minotaur Project is to create games in the style of old gaming systems but which are satisfying and fun to play for players both ancient and modern.
Oldschool style combined with thoroughly modern effects and controls designed for touch bring classic gaming up to date in the most engaging manner.

Best Shooter on iOS
This game controls better than I ever thought would be possible on an iPhone. From the pitch-perfect aesthetic to the insane gameplay at higher levels I have yet to see an iOS shooter even half as good!
a lost 8-bit classic that didn't exist until now
Imagine going into a 1980s arcade, seeing some wild game for the first time, and spending a couple of dollars playing it. That's Minotaur Rescue in a nutshell. And for roughly the price of four quarters, who could complain? It's a dynamic, beautifully designed game.
Love love love this game!
This is one of the best iOS games out there. The controls are second to none, so there's no finicky joystick to get in the way of your high score!
