Pros: challenging simulation that rewards patience and preciseness, landmark in vector graphics

Cons: can feel more like work than play

Recommendation: the kind of video game one might find in a science museum, Lunar Lander feels very authentic. Worth playing as more than just a historical footnote, but there are better Atari classics from the same era.
