Galactic Touchdown

Galactic Touchdown is a 1-player arcade game for the Apple II.

The lunar surface of Galactica is a shifting mass of inhospitable terrain impossible to land on. The player must test the prototype lunar touchdown system by engaging its reverse thruster jets to make a soft landing.

The player controls a space shuttle that can move left or right, and use its reverse thrusters to slow descent. The player has limited fuel to make a safe landing, and must land on the flat areas on the planet's surface. If the player lands on rough terrain, lands too fast, or runs out of fuel, it's game over. There are seven skill levels. Each successful landing causes the terrain to become more difficult.
