LunarModule3D is a unique lunar lander style game that mixes classic arcade action with realistic environments. The game takes you through 5 real locations on the moon including 4 of the apollo landing sites and Tycho crater. All of the lunar environments have been generated from actual photos of the moon using shape from shading technology.
The goal of LunarModule3D is simply to land on all of the red landing sites. As you progress through the game, the missions become increasingly difficult and require you to land on more landing sites, some of which are hidden in deep craters or behind large mountains. At some point in the game you will even be required to refuel by landing on special blue landing sites. The later missions require careful planning and skilled piloting.

This game has an incredibly real-looking lunar surface. The music is pretty good too – but the controls are a bit tough to master at first. Definitely worth a look though, especially at $0.99.
