Lessons from video games
This week isn’t just the 40th anniversary of the first moon landings, it’s also the 40th anniversary of the video game Lunar Lander.
Having a go at this excellent remake (for Windows), I learnt an important lesson that one can use in real life:
Try pressing Shift to start if nothing else seems to work No, that’s not it.
Don’t go for the bigger fuel tank. Upgrading to the more efficient engine is a better buy.
Actually that’s got a fairly narrow application, hasn’t it.
Oh well, the game was fun.
