I loved that version when it came out when I was a kid. Sad most of
them disappeared (and were
First job was programming the “L” series machines. I imagine a Lunar Lander

"Lunar Lander games abound on every platform"
For sure! I even have a copy on tape somewhere for the Burroughs L
series machines, but unfortunately I'm not aware of any of those still
working; there was an L7xxx and also an L5xxx and L9xxx, but AFAIK
they're display only.

I remember running this program at school in the mid 1970's.
This runs on 4K Focal '69 without the extended functions enabled. So it
should run on a 4K PDP-8/L.
I think I might have actually run it on a 4K PDP-8/L with an ASR-33
Teletype sometime between 1972 and 1975. I know I ran it on a
Didn't know the source code had been released in FOCAL. I wonder if it
will run on a 4k pdp8/L.
One way to find out.
