description

Apollo 18: Mission to the Moon simulates a fictional mission to the moon in the early 1980s, after the last flight of Apollo 17 before NASA closed the Apollo program . One of the main features of the game is the digitized speech that sounds cracked like a real mission control speaker.

The Apollo mission is divided into many sections. At the beginning of each mission, a telemetry checklist is set up so that the corresponding systems are heated up. All lights must be green for the start to take place. In order to find your way around in the capsule, a computer is installed that takes on various control tasks. First you start with a Saturn V rocket from Earth into orbit. You have to make sure that the engines are burning in the correct ratio and that you do not deviate from the programmed course. Once in orbit, you dock on the command module ( CM ), which is already in earth orbit . During the flight to the moon, you can make a few course corrections that quickly burn too much fuel. You land on the moon to take a short walk ( EVA ). Care must be taken that the oxygen does not run out. When the Lunar Module ( LM ) has started again, all you need to do is collect three defective satellites before you land back on earth.

Ports

The game was released for the following systems: Commodore 64 and MS-DOS
