This is a port, to the HP-33S, of the classic moon lander game, as printed in the original HP-34C Applications booklet (which I believe came along with the calculator in the original box) under the Recreation chapter.
So, it's bound to have a different "feel" on the 33S than when played the 34C or its predecessors, all of which had a red LED display showing only one stack level. On the 33S, you will be able to see the Y stack level, which might be annoying.
I will start with label "L", for "lander" (the memory register labels are also arbitrary). When there's a menu choice step in the program, I will not list the whole instruction on one line, but the menu part on one line and the separate keystroke from a keyboard key on the next line, the way it would occur in sequence if you were keying in the instruction on the 33S.
