About this game
The original Lunar Lander game was a 1969 text-based game called Lunar, or alternately the Lunar Landing Game. Lunar Lander was originally written as a text-based computer game in the FOCAL programming language for the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-8 computer by Jim Storer while a student at Lexington High School (Massachusetts) in the autumn of 1969. Storer submitted the game to the DEC users' newsletter, which distributed the source code to readers. Other version
