GOOD LANDING (COULD RE BETTER)”

I can’t get it any better than that, and yes I don’t have much else to do at the moment :p

Super Star Trek is pretty good too.

I remember playing the Atari Lunar Lander game in a dimly lit arcade in Carnaby Street London back in the early 80s. I know I played it elsewhere but I distinctly remember this place as we weren’t old enough to be in there — fruit machine age restriction I think — and the manager wasn’t going to kick out several kids with pocketfuls of change so he hovered around the entrance keeping an eye out for the local constabulary :p

There’s a Lunar Lander game in LucasArts The Dig, on the PDA device in the inventory.

Are there any semi-realistic space themed Linux titles that aren’t Lunar Lander clones?
