Alien Lander

Alien Lander is a 1-player arcade game for the Apple II.

Played from a 1st person perspective, the player attempts to land on an alien surface, by controlling the speed of descent of their spaceship. The player can alter the gravity of the planet, strength of thrust, and density. The player has a limited amount of fuel, and must control when and how long they will burn fuel to try to make a soft landing. Gauges show remaining fuel, current velocity, altitude, and current time. If the player runs out of fuel, they hurtle towards the planet's surface.
