Moonbase Alpha: That time NASA made a meme video game

Wow, I can see how many people would find this to be a very boring game but it looks amazing to me. Sad that I missed its golden age.

In case anyone wants to play around with DECtalk without downloading the game, there's https://webspeak.terminal.ink/

Moonbase Alpha was the location where the TV show “Space: 1999” was set.

First episode saw the moon permanently leave Earth orbit.

Spent years playing this game. It is the closest thing I've seen to real time chess. Also excellent soundtrack that sets the mood.

EDIT: whoops I thought this was moonbase commander, another NASA sponsored game from another time.

Bah, thought this was related to the classic UK TV series Space:1999.
