Geister Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 No comms. I might not have been the only one to crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geister Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Apparently it did land but comms are weak. It must be Commodore based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geister Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 The WIFI is weak. Should have used FUJINet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible kid Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hope it works out okay! Love the 8 bits, but if I'm gonna play Lunar Lander, it's going to be the arcade version! To be honest, wasn't even aware there was an 8 bit version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Larry Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 There was a really nice lander version in Analog mag. It had about 9 or so different screens/levels. I'll try to find it and post it tomorrow. It was my favorite lander game. A.I. had a nice one, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Intuitive Machines posted this update on Twitter an hour ago: After troubleshooting communications, flight controllers have confirmed Odysseus is upright and starting to send data. Right now, we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface. That's encouraging, didn't really sound too promising after it landed. ..Al 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Larry Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 There's the one I was referring to... The Atariamania page 2 has Lunar Patrol included. If you're inclined, make a few mods and try it with Turbo Basic XL or another faster Basic or compiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that I've ever played have been bad to mediocre; and I don't see much to change that opinion on the list. Space Taxi is great; but let's face it, it's not Lunar Lander; Space Taxi is its own thing. (No offense to your brother; it's valiant to attempt such games in BASIC; but I think one has little hope of getting very far -- with the possible exception of compiled BASIC.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
