Gameplay

Lunar Lander is a game in which the player must land a ship on the Moon, in the style of other Lunar Lander games. [1]

This game was part of a series of arcade game clones for the TRS-80 and Atari 8-bit computers. Though not exactly the same as the Atari, Inc. version of Lunar Lander , it was advertised as "an arcade game simulation". [2] [3]

Reception

Richard McGrath reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World , and stated that "I have no real complaints. Adventure International has a winning program here. It is just as advertised--a quality version of an old standby." [1]
