"La Terra è la culla dell'umanità, ma l'umanità non può restare nella culla per sempre"
Konstantin Eduardovic Tsiolkovskij (1857-1935)
In AD LUNAM e AD LUNAM PLUS siete al comando del programma spaziale degli Stati Uniti o dell’Unione Sovietica. È la primavera del 1956. Il vostro obiettivo è di mandare una squadra del vostro paese sulla Luna e farla tornare sana e salva entro vent’anni. Dovrete costruire equipaggiamenti, veicoli e strutture, reclutare ed addestrare dei piloti, e condurre missioni via via sempre più complesse e difficili, senza trascurare di tenere d'occhio i vostri avversari.
AD LUNAM è il gioco base, solo testuale, per lo ZX Spectrum 48K, mentre AD LUNAM PLUS ne è la versione riveduta e ampliata per il 128K, con grafica e sonoro.
Potete trovare ulteriori informazioni sulla realizzazione dei due giochi nelle edizioni 2020 e 2021 dello Al's Spectrum Annual, scaricabile gratuitamente da qui.
Per coloro che vogliono "curiosare" nei giochi, sono disponibili i codici sorgente da assemblare con ZX-Basic (usate la versione citata nel manuale).

Konstantin Eduardovic Tsiolkovskij (1857-1935)
In AD LUNAM and AD LUNAM PLUS you are in command of the space program of the United States or the Soviet Union. It is the spring of 1956. Your goal is to send a crew from your country to the Moon and return them safely. You have twenty years time to achieve this. You will have to build equipment, vehicles and structures, recruit and train pilots, and carry out increasingly complex and difficult missions, while constantly keeping an eye on your opponents.
AD LUNAM is the basic, text-only game for the ZX Spectrum 48K, while AD LUNAM PLUS is the revised and expanded version for the 128K, with graphics and sound.

An excellent game, it basically feels like a 80ies version of Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager. Very unique and clever and a masterpiece of programming. It has a lasting place in my collection. Can't wait for your next projects!
Hi Athanasius, thank you so much for appreciating the collection. In fact it was the attempt to bring the Liftoff! board game to the Spectrum, looking at BARIS - which was made by the same author, by the way - as an inspiration. I am glad that it was so well received. I hope that the sources will inspire other authors to create other games of this kind, we need more of them!
