The original came out way before 1979 – I was playing it in college in 1970-71. Maybe the original came out in 1969? Marvelous job of duplication, absolutely marvelous. In the original, you had some control over gravity levels and speed at time of opening, I forget details, tho.

Super, thx.

Would love you to port the original game over to use on the new palm pre. Would be great to use the accelerometer
to control the left right and possibly the thrust as well!

If you don’t want to port it, would you be averse to releasing the source code?

Nice work! Does it have a MacDonald’s stand buried in it somewhere (haven’t found it yet).

Still remember playing this on a PDP-11 back in the day. Managed to destroy a few MacDonald stands – never did land next to one.

[...] done what I can to try and excited people about the Apollo missions. I’ve rebuilt the 3D lunar lander from the 5K app competition into a special Apollo 11 commemorative [...]

@SenatorPalpatine what would the fun be if you had unlimited fuel? You’re right though, I should make it so that you get fuel for a successful landing.

@Neil good point! Maybe I’ll do it in time for the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing

I’ll post up the source with a bit of explanation soon

Any chance we can get our hands on it?

Cheers

Stumbled on this. Awesome little thing, super fun. I learned to land very well. I wish there was some way to just fly around there indefinitely without running out of fuel though.

That’s strange it seems ok to me… the site has been having outtages so that could have screwed things up… could you try again and if it still doesn’t work could you let me know your browser/OS etc?

thanks

Seems like the game is no longer playable at http://sebleedelisle.com/games/moonlander

all I see is a page with text at the top but no game.
