| Ummon:
It's because the thrust control was 'backwards'. In two ways: first, in that in all my experience, at least prior to playing the game, and any that I can think of since, one pushes up or forward for thrust. Not back or down. Second, pulling back on the control is exactly the opposite way you want to go when thrusting in this game. You only want to go up - or perhaps maintain altitude. |

Yeah I like the Firebird version called Thrust. Lunar lander could have been made better, with better controls. |

To a jet pilot, push means go forward. To a helicopter guy, pull means the houses get smaller. |

Well then just change it. :banghead: That is the beauty of MAME, in that you can change the controls to fit you or in some cases what you have on your control panel. Since most control panels do not contain a dedicated throttle lever you can make it whatever you want and configured how you would prefer it. |
