Description

KIM Goes to the Moon is a Lunar Lander variant. The game is played on the six digit LED display on the front panel of the KIM-1. The first four LEDs represent the crafts altitude or fuel level (the player can toggle the state). The last two LEDs represent the rate of descent. The player uses the number keys to change the thrust rate in an attempt to land the module safely on the moon without running out of fuel.
