Description

LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) is a Lunar Lander variant. Like in the original game the player is tasked with putting a lander on the moon, by adjusting the fuel consumption rate each second. The player must avoid smashing into the lunar surface or running by gaining too much velocity or running out of fuel. LEM expands on the original game by allowing horizontal movement and giving the user more control over the input. Instead of having to give the rocket fuel consumption each second the user can say for how long it should burn at the current rate and thus control the lengths of the turns. The game also allows the player to change the attitude angle and switch between metric and imperial systems.
