About this game

Land of Neverwhere is an arcade shooter released in 1987 for the Commodore 64 and Commodore C64/128/MAX. Developed by Richard Palmer and published by The Power House, it puts a lone mercenary on a rescue mission to recover eight stranded space kids from hidden silos around Home Base.

Guide each space kid to the building on the right side of the planet while avoiding its inhabitants. The mercenary can fire bullets to destroy enemies, but contact costs ego points. If a space kid is caught, it is expelled into space and the mercenary returns to the planet’s entry point. Every rescue must be completed within a time limit.
