Lunar Command

Lunar Command is a video game in the strategy genre developed by Wesson International and published by Mallard Software Inc. originally released in 1993. It is currently playable on DOS.

A re-release of Wesson's 1991 Moonbase lunar colony simulator Moonbase, Lunar Command keeps the realistic factors of the original game intact, while adding a bunch of bells and whistles and some minor gameplay tweaks.

For those who have never played Moonbase, the game is essentially a 'SimLunar Colony', that is, it's all about building a colony on the Moon and making it economically self-sufficient by mining and selling the resources to Earth in exchange for the money needed to expand. There are very few structures that can be built, but since the game emphasizes economics, that is not a major limitation. The game is reasonably realistic in the sense that it was designed to explore the feasibility of lunar colonization, so all elements of the game are based as much as possible on actual NASA estimates. Although very limited in scope (after all, this is not a sci-fi or 4X game), Lunar Command should appeal to diehard simulation fans or space buffs who are intrigued by the idea and want to play with the parameters. Recommended.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
