Moon Lander (Altair 8800)

The Vintage Computer and Gaming Marketplace is my latest discovery in online retro shopping, and it's a rather excellent and very free to use place to grab/sell your vintage digital stuff. What's more, it does sport some pretty unique items too. Take this BASIC version of Moon Lander on paper tape (!) for the 1975 MITS Altair 8800 for example; it easily is one of the most ancient ways to load a game around, isn't it? And it's stored on paper. Paper. Now that's what I call retro.
