Parachute Drop As the aircraft flies across the screen, jump by pressing 0. Pressing 9 opens your parachute, allowing you to steer with keys 5 and 8. Your aim is to land on the randomly- placed landing pad each time and the later you open your parachute the more points you gain. After you have dropped 10 times, if your score is more than 120 and you still have three lives remaining the game will continue with the aircraft flying slightly lower. Parachute Drop was written for the Spectrum by Andrew Burton of Worksop, Notts.
