- Turbo Lander is a Public Domain, arcade-style game based on the
- popular Lunar Lander game. The purpose is to land the ship on
- one of the 'Landing Pads' at the bottom of the screen.

- Engine Controls are as follows:
-
- ┌─────┬─────┬─────┐
- │Home │ ^ │PgUp │

- arrow key will fire the Main Engine downward, causing the ship
- to rise.
