Spend fuel to control your descent and land at six lunar sites. A wide pad offers safety; the narrow pad marked with a star earns 10 bonus points. Later sites reverse the crosswind.
A/D moves sideways one character at a time. W or RETURN fires the thruster, spending 1 fuel to reduce descent speed by 2. Landing requires a speed of 2 or less.
Directions work on the keyboard or pad; the pad button also acts as RETURN. SPACE opens confirmation to restart this stage. NO is selected initially. Choose with A/D, confirm with RETURN, or cancel with SPACE. Play pauses during confirmation. CTRL+C returns to BASIC.
Semigraphic lunar terrain and distant scenery accompany intermediate descent positions and thruster flames. Failure pauses with a distinct reason for excess speed or missing the pad. Landing has a flash and jingle. Wait for animations to finish before pressing again.
FUEL is remaining fuel, FALL is descent speed, ALT is altitude, and WIND shows the crosswind direction. Landing points equal remaining fuel, plus 10 for the narrow pad and 4 for a speed of 1 or less. Decide whether to reach for a distant pad or conserve fuel and use the wide one.
