All the talk about the first landing on the moon got me to thinking about an old game I used to play way back in the past (1993). Buzz Aldrin’s Race into Space.
So for old times sake I decided to look it up an lo and behold there was a free version online that works in windows XP.
So in a wave of nostalgia I decided to give it a whirl… Wow it was the CD rom version with movies and audio!!! (That was a big thing back then) It worked just as I remember… the graphics aren’t as wonderful and for full appreciation you should play 800x600 resolution. You know what it was still engrossing. I cheered as I beat the soviets with the first Satellite, Cursed when my Mercury capsule failed to enter orbit and required new R&D and felt horrible when Neil Armstong and Cox disintigrated reentering earth orbit after a successful lunar pass in (GASP) a Gemini capsule.
Anyone else remember this gem?
