Synopsis

It is the year 1991. You have crash landed on the Earth's moon. Your mission: survival!

Notes

This adventure was published for home brew S-100 bus system computers in Creative Computing magazine, vol. 8, no. 1, January 1982, pp. 142, 144, 146, 150, 152-153. The article included general guidelines for conversion to other BASICs and specific guidelines for conversion to Apple II Applesoft BASIC and TRS-80 Level II BASIC.

The type-in was also presented as Survival in the 1984 book Big Computer Games, edited by David H. Ahl and published by Creative Computing Press; pp. 79-86.

Moon Survival for the Atari 400/800/XL/XE appears to be an unofficial port sold commercially by Keypunch Software. Survival for the TRS-80 MC-10 appears to be another unofficial port, but with several small changes.

The original game was (unofficially?) ported to the Adam by Mike Elsila and released on a number of public domain game compilation disks. It was then enhanced by an unknown author and released by ADAMagic as 'Stranded', on their "Adventure Pack 2" compilation, without any credits to the original authors.

There is a port for CP/M (in CBASIC2), typed-in by R Logan & Ian Lycholm; see listing here.

Allan and Andrew Lee seem to have produced a version of the game for MS-DOS.

Jim Gerrie has produced a version of the game for TRS-80 MC-10; see here.

The original game was unofficially translated into Dutch as Overleven; see comment here.

New MC-10 version from the 1984 Ahl book "Big BASIC Games". Only minimal changes made to get the source to work properly. https://archive.org/details/survival_202504
