Reviews:

I developed Lunar Lander for this 3 game compilation pack.

Capping off the collection is Lunar Lander, a tough-as-nails moon-landing simulator. In the original arcade game, players used a rotary dial and a throttle lever to maneuver a lunar lander module onto the moon's surface. Here, the directional pad and buttons function as the throttle and steering controls, respectively. The game is extremely challenging, because you have to keep the ship's angle and speed within safe limits and land without running out of fuel. The arcade game, released in 1979, was Atari's first vector graphics game, but what impressed people more was the way the screen zoomed in as the lander approached the moon's surface.

The version included on this cartridge duplicates the look and feel of the arcade game perfectly.
