Buzz Aldrin’s Race into Space

Given the theme of Gemini, I just remembered an old DOS game I played in the early 1990s. It’s called “Buzz Aldrin’s Race into Space” and let players re-play the race into space from a US or Soviet point of view. It was released to the public domain years ago, so it’s free to play.

It probably works in a DOS game emulator and is available on archive.org. I found two promising links, but didn’t try them myself.

There’s, of course, some video content of a play-through on YouTube. I picked one of the CD version with high-quality video and sound.
