Lunar Lander DescriptionAtari's first vector game. Use rotation buttons and giant thruster control to land the Eagle on the surface of the moon. View screen "zooms in" as you approach the lunar surface.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationBlack cabinet with orange, yellow, blue and white artwork on the side panels.Game Play(From the original manual):Lunar Lander (TM) is a one-player coin-operated electronic game that simulates landing a manned spaceship on the moon. Various video-display phrases indicate score, time elapsed during the mission, fuel units consumed, altitude above the moon, and horizontal and vertical speed. The fuel consumption and both speed readings are important for the player to determine how to land the craft. Realistic engine rumble and crash sounds accompany game play. A high beep warns of an almost-depleted fuel supply, whereupon players can add coins to automatically extend the game and "fill up" their fuel tanks. Depending on the quality of the landing or the crash, various messages are displayed on the screen. Choose one of four difficulty settings.
