Lander

Lander © 1977 Commodore Business Machines, Inc.

An adaptation of Lunar Lander. In this version you don't have to find solid ground, but you must make sure to not crash into the surface. In the game the lander starts at 52,800 feet above the surface and the player must make sure to land at a reasonable falling speed, to make sure the lander doesn't crash. The player can perform thrust in nine different quantities using the numeric keypad to reduce falling speed. There is only limited fuel, meaning the player can't simply go down in a leisurely pace.
