Some Lunar Lander game

MickJT · 25 July 2009, 15:38

Hi guys,

I remember on OS1.2 or 1.3, at least sometime back when that was new, there was a very (VERY) simple workbench game I had.

A little bar would come up in the middle of the screen like VirusZ or Virus_Checker II, and you'd fly a little spaceship to it, and when you landed you heard:

"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."
"Roger, Twank...Tranquility, we copy you on the ground."

(copied from wikipedia).

So..... what was it and where is it?

Edit: This is it: http://games.slashdot.org/comments.p...9&cid=28759045 ... nevertheless, I want a copy.

Hi Mick,

I found this on Fred Fish disk #312 :

Quote:

Moonbase
You must guide a lunar lander to ferry cargo from an
orbiting space station to bases on the surface of the moon.
You get cargo and fuel for the lander by docking with the
space station. The goal is to complete all the assigned
cargo deliveries, and to destroy as few landers as possible
in doing so. Binary only.

Hope that's what you're looking for

Disk is in the zone.

No, that's not right. Even though i'm on OS4 and can't play it, the fact it even has title screens (in Moonbase) is wrong.

Please check the slashdot comment. You run this game and it opens up a windowless titlebar like Virus_Checker II, you fly it and land it on top of whatever window you wanted.

I don't even believe there was any "game element" to it. I don't remember scores or anything except the apollo 11 quotes mentioned above.

Yeah that looks like it, right name and everything. I'll check tomorrow and report back.
