Great news

This forum supports the Early Access Program for the PC for Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager (SPM). iOS, Android and Mac releases are still in development. SPM is the ultimate game of space exploration. It is the mid 1950s and the race for dominance between the US and the Soviet Union is about to move into a new dimension: space. Take charge of the US or Soviet space agencies - your duty is be the first to the moon. Carefully manage your budget by opening programs, spending R&D funds on improving the hardware, recruiting personnel and astronauts and launching space missions in this realistic turn based strategy game.

I'm looking forward to this. Liftoff and High Frontier are some of my favorite boardgames.

I assume this is an update/remake of BARIS? I've got that on my pc right now & still love it only thing I hate was the "die" rolls were quite severe for such a minimal problems shown.

My only 1969 win in this was in the Gemini.
The Apollo suffered explosion on launchpad and so they went in a Gemini + booster instead and the mission went off perfectly.

The die roll blowing up my rocket and killing the crew that had a 90% success chance, plus the astronauts extreme mood swings if they had to sit out a mission were my peeves with BARIS. I'm hoping these are worked out; I'm sure they will be. :)

Not my best, but achievable[;)]

I did it in a gemini as well not even starting the apollo program. I've even tried the small Cricket lander. I've done the Soviets a time or 2 but not often

Buzz is back. I hope you're keeping that original music?

Although we liked the original music, SPM will feature a whole new OST. A very talented chap is working on both the music and the sound effects, we're sure you'll love it!
