Land your module on the moon before your fuel supply is exhausted. Be careful, you might crash.

Lunar Lander was one of the 4 games available on the Star Trek Compucolor Sof-Disk disk (later called Star Trip), along with Star Trek, Shoot and Tic-Tac-Toe.

According to the release date, Lunar Lander was more an adaptation of **Moonlander**, an early computer game designed by Jack Burness in 1973 that ran on the DEC GT40 graphics terminal (typically downloaded from a PDP-10 mainframe computer), than a graphic version inspired by Atari's [Lunar Lander](/software/lunar-lander/) (itself inspired by Moonlander).
