Hello to all!

After almost a year of development, I am able to finally release the Apollo LEM Simulator 1.0! LEM Sim is the most advanced lunar lander game available on a Palm/Treo device. It realistically simulates the critical phase of an Apollo moon mission which is the landing. Here some of features of the game if anybody is interested:

- Realistic physics modeling of the descent engine and thrusters
- Actual Apollo LEM instruments rendering such as the X-pointer, altitude tape and artificial horizon
- Houston voice announcements of your altitude, rate of descent and fuel level (during descent)
- Realistic sound effects during flight
- An on-board computer to help you fly the lunar module
- Lander sub-systems may fail at any time during your descent(fuel leak, engine shutdown,stuck thrusters among others things!)
- Three game levels : Rookie, Pilot and Commander
- Two missions to choose from
- Landing score takes into account landing accuracy, touchdown velocities, fuel remaining among other things
- Flight plan available during descent
- 20+ pages user’s guide

You can see an actual screen shot on the left of this message (my avatar). if you want to test drive (full version) the LEM, you can check it out at Handango.com:

Try Apollo LEM Simulator 1.0 here!

I really hope you like the app. This is my first app and so I am anxious to hear from you guys about suggestions, issues or comments.

By the way this game works only on Palm/Treo devices which have high resolution screen (320x320) like Treo 650, Palm Tungsten C/E/TX/T3, Palm LifeDrive and others. It won't work with Treo 600...sorry.

Please enjoy the game and do not hesitated to send me a private message if you need assistance landing (ha ha) or if you have any suggestions/comments.

Happy landing!

ps: Here is a screen shot to help you better figure out how the game looks like:
