Lunar Lander

Lunar Lander © 1976 Texas Instruments.

Similar to Lunar Lander games for HP calculators but has some minor differences. The player defines the starting parameters of the game, including starting altitude, pounds of fuel and initial falling speed. Each action the player inputs corresponds with the actions of the lander for the next second of time. For each action the player can set the fuel burn rate to any value between 0 and 75 pounds of fuel per second. The goal is to reach the moon's surface with a velocity of five feet per second or less. The player only has limited fuel to burn.
