Lunar Lander

is an arcade game first released for the Atari computer in 1979. The object of the game is to pilot a lunar landing module to a safe touchdown on the moon. To pilot the lander, the player must counteract gravity by using the lander's aft thrusters to slow its descent. The player uses a proportional throttle to adjust the strength of the thrusters. Each action uses up the craft's limited fuel, and when fuel has run out, the lander stops responding to the player's actions.
