Rescuer's Reviews

We love hearing feedback from the field. Here's what rescuers are saying!

  "It's a Masterpiece!" - jgkspsx

  "I really, really like this game. Love the overhead copter mode. Onto Mission 25 next" - Vince Black

  "I have to let you know, we really like your game! My wife was impressed...and my son loves it...
  he likes the challenge and we had to pry him off after over a half hour" - sequor_ihs ("we play on the tv with xbox controller and on iPhone")

Wait! Where's my copy of Alpine Rescue?

Alpine Rescue emails often end up in the spam box of potential rescuers.
IF you filled out the survey, but you have not received instructions on how to purchase your own copy of Alpine Rescue...simply email us at
RetroWorldChamps@gmail.com!

Shhhh... secret hint

Struggling with the practice levels? No surprise! Practice levels are equivalent to the tougher Mission 24 levels. Instead, just select "START" and jump right into the first mission. Mission 1 provides a much calmer way to introduce yourself to the world of Alpine Rescue. Plus, you'll earn your first badge just by completing Mission 2. Looking forward to awarding more badges and hearing about your first successful rescues!

On behalf of Jon Day, his son Michael, and HomeBrew Vectrex Developers around the world,
I sincerely thank each and everyone of you who have joined our community
and especially those who have purchased or have considered purchasing Alpine Rescue!

Here's to an amazing and adventure-filled 2025, VecTrekkers!
