Apollo 18: The Moon Missions is a simulation video game developed by American studio AIM Software and published by Project Two Interactive on March 31, 1999, for Windows.

The game tales place on two disks: a video-heavy tutorial disk, and the simulation training at Johnson Space Center. Players learn proper commands and sequence, and then apply this to the Apollo 18 to ensure a successful launch.

While the Apollo 18 is fictitious, the game is based on the real events that led to the 1969 Moon landing.[1]

Reception

[edit]

IGN felt that the game ultimately left feelings of boredom and frustration.[2] Gamesmania gave the title a rating of 20%[3] while PC Joker gave it 19%.[4] GamePro criticised the Spartan 200 page manual.[5]
