"Rescue on Fractalus!" is an iconic Atari 8-bit computer game released in 1984. Developed by Lucasfilm Games (later known as LucasArts), it combines intense action with cutting-edge graphics for its time. Set on an alien world, players assume the role of a pilot tasked with rescuing stranded astronauts while fending off hostile alien creatures called "Jaggies."

Players must navigate their spaceship through the treacherous terrain, identifying stranded astronauts and carefully landing to pick them up while avoiding the lurking Jaggies.

"Rescue on Fractalus!" was praised for its tension-filled gameplay and immersive atmosphere, making it a memorable title in the early history of computer gaming. It showcased the potential of fractal technology in gaming and remains a beloved classic among Atari 8-bit enthusiasts.

Before the final game reelase this was also called "Behind Jaggi Lines!" during development.
