I died on everything from a building-sized mainframe to a desktop computer to a computer I could carry in my pocket. I'm guessing many (some?) here played this on a PDP8 (back in the early 70s - showing my age!). I managed to land several times. IIRC, If you hit the sweet spot, the pilot got out of the ship, wandered over to the nearby McDonalds (!) and ordered a burger to go, got back in the ship, and you could take off. If you landed in the wrong spot, you got the admonition "You clod, you've destroyed the only McDonald's on the moon!" |
