About Moonlander

Moonlander is a simulator game developed by Jack Burness and published by Digital Equipment Corporation, released on 25 February 1973.

Moonlander (also known as Lunar Lander) is an early computer game made for the DEC GT40 computer and is the first graphical game in the lunar landing simulator subgenre, as well as the first one in real-time. It is notable for being the first video game with an Easter egg, a lone McDonalds on the moon's surface that can be interacted with or destroyed.
