I was 3 months old when we first landed men on the Moon (the same age as my youngest daughter). So while I was “there” when Neil took his first step, I can’t say that I remember much.
What I do remeber is the Lunar Lander video game in the coin arcades of my youth (specifically Merlin’s Castle located at El Paseo de Saratoga in San Jose, California… now long gone). I also had a version of the game I used to play on my Apple ][+. Its a finesse game – you try to gently set the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) using your thruster with a limited amount of fuel. I could (and can) play this game for hours. Now you can to! Here is a great flash version of the original arcade version.
