<SNORT>

	That is in the same class as the "lunar lander" game on my college
mainframe...

	It did not do validity checking of inputs, with the result that one
could do

-10 lbs thrust at 180 degrees

and GAIN fuel while decelerating.

	I used to crash with twice the fuel I started with... (I also managed
an "excellent target accuracy" once... Pity I left the landing gear half
way around the moon -- my vertical rate was inches per hour while the
horizontal was in miles per hour)
