Lunar Lander

A simple idea, but a brutally hard game for children with dire fiery astronaut ending consequences.  You get 900 fuel units for your quarter and the lives of the crew of the lunar lander in your hands.  I remember being fascinated by this game but never really finding it to be that fun.  More simulation than game, Lunar Lander is an early warning to game developers to pick fun over reality every time.

    I loved this game because they gave you that AWESOME throttle controller. Also, if you lamed out and hit the "Abort" button is was good-bye fuel, hello Oblivion.

    I know nothing about video games - except for that brief two weeks in 1990 when I got hooked on Super Mario Brothers - but I just wanted to say congratulations on your blog! Wait. I lied. I think I played Pac Man a couple of times at Wal-Mart. And Astroids. And Pong on Duane Lee's Atari. Oh, and Frogger, too. Hmmm. Maybe I should start a blog...
