> Fascinating - and there was a video game made by Atari called Lunar > Lander which also tried to put a LEM safely on the surface.
At the U of Alberta in the graphics terminal room in the General Services Bldg., next door to the I/O room (pick up and drop off cards and printouts from the MTS Amdahl), there was a short rack with a ~10U PDP of some flavour connected to a rack mount GT-40 graphics terminal. There was a version of lunar lander you could download into the PDP from the MTS system and play off- line (i.e. free). You used a light pen to control everything, and the goal was to land successfully beside the only McDonalds on the moon. --lyndon
