Lunar Lander

(2.0)

1979

Lunar Lander is a single-player arcade game in the Lunar Lander subgenre. It was developed by Atari, Inc. and released in August 1979. It was the most popular version to date of the "Lunar Lander" concept, surpassing the prior Moonlander (1973) and numerous text-based games, and most later iterations of the concept are based on this Atari version. The player controls a lunar landing module, viewed from the side, and attempts to land safely on the Moon. The player can rotate the module and burn fuel to fire a thruster, attempting to gently land on marked areas. The scenario resets after every successful landing or crash, with new terrain, until no fuel remains. Coins can be inserted at any time to buy more fuel.

Lunar Lander

The game is broken into three sections, shuttle take-off, landing, and exploration. After several attempts, I couldn't even complete the first section. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, but I didn't enjoy this game in the least! Perhaps, I might have liked it more had I been able to get past the first section.
