Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space Playthrough - 1957-59 (1 of 12)

[historynerd88]

In my game, I barely began with the Mercury and Vostok manned flights (because the only way to have a shot at moon landing before the other part is playing human-vs-human, the AI kicks your butt every time), and I've already lost Gordo Cooper and Andriyan Nikolayev... and I just hate when you get the funeral scene! Even playing against yourself, getting on the moon before 1970 is hard!

Man, I got the freeware version today... hardest game I've ever played. I started out destroying the soviets, first satellite, first manned mission, a bunch of planet flybys, but then they just went all out on the lunar missions and won.

I want to play as soviet russia and beat America to the chase then destroy them with bombs!....can I do that?

I stumbled across this game yesterday and I just can't stop playing. I finished yesterday at 1:30 am which made me soo tired in work. Great video!

why do u mark the red thingie when scheduling the mission?

[L1011Widebody]

@Wizardmon2

It's a lock. When you have the setting you want selected (manned/unmanned, docking or not, EVA or not, etc.) and then you click the red button to lock that selection, when you click the up or down arrow to scroll through missions it only shows the missions that fit that criteria.

@L1011Widebody thank for answering!

[Wizardmon2]

the most difficult video game i ever played! >w<

[L1011Widebody]

@Wizardmon2

You would think a game named after an astronaut wouldn't have so many ways for them to die horribly.

[Wizardmon2]

@L1011Widebody in a mission the kvartet spacecraft landed wrong and the cosmonauts bodies were at the moon surface with the kvartet broken up in two parts!, worst mission failure i had

[Wizardmon2]

@L1011Widebody and that's why i love this game is SO challenging!

Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations?

WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution!

Thumbs up to keep at the top of the page!

This was in the day where kids and teenagers and game player's generally MUST have had a decent IQ - to actually go out, buy games like this and Gunship and Falcon 3.0 and then have FUN playing them! Today gamers in general and console gamers specifically, must have a heart attack watching video's like this!

[Wizardmon2]

LOL! the Sputnik!

I've been trying to figure out which file controls your money, I wanted to try editing it so I could have some fun :D

[DravenWolfe]

I remember playing this game with my brother... I was always the US and he was Russia, never could successfuly get a man on the moon, but as long as Aldrin was part of your crew you knew at least one man was coming back alive.

Wow, I wish I had this game as a kid.
