Buzz Aldrin's race into space (moon landing)

They actually did a remake (sorry for the late reply), to be found at raceintospace(dot)org. Someone sat down and slapped together an OSS version.

It's still insanely hard. Whoever designed the success/fail model didn't spend a moment pondering the laws of statistics and that 10% fail chance on 20 steps essentially means that you fail more than half the time.

The red bar on both your rocket explosions looks maxed out to me, which implies to me that you failed a copyright check.

On top of that, you're not helping your chances by launching a lunar landing mission when you've still got a -23 safety penalty....

I have 2 question.First.Why in missions where you launch 2 rocket together(JT)one rocket ALWAYS explode?Second.Why in some mission it warn me that i need t ohave a dock module in orbit before to launch my mission?How can i launch a dock module that stay in orbit?I never step my foot on the moon sob!

you need at least 2 launch pads. the first one launchs the the dock module, the second the rest od the equipment.

obviously theyre part of the same mission

Thank you 4 your reply.Anyway i found my answer in the BARIS tip.The dock module can be place in orbit with a docking mission and it will stay in orbit 4 one year.For the first question i found that the % of failure with a JT mission is really high. I land on the moon finally 3 weeks ago!I cried and laughing with my sis'...(i played with her)

Yra! Mi na Lune!

We did it!

Sigh. Yes a rather difficult game, I've played it on and off for about 10 years, and I think I've only gotten to the moon about 3 or 4 times. And thats in the early to mid 70s. But I love it!

If you have a fully researched Saturn V - you should not ever see it fail and blow up like it does.

The only way this can happen is if you failed the copy-protection by entering the wrong answers.

my youtube nick is inspired in BARIS :D

The AI has exactly the same rules. I've played many games where the soviets have one problem after another and you never hear from them again after 1965 or so. If you play aggressively, you can get the prestige firsts and the money and the other side is finanically crippled.

BTW the CIA intelligence is NEVER correct.

I've won the game many times. (and lost many MORE times!)
