Fin Lander 1.0 - NYYRIKKI 2018 - PUR120 category / MSX
------------------------------------------------------

Dear captain,

We are glad that you have accepted a position as a test pilot of our experimental lander. Your job is to land this little puppy safe and sound to our custom made, white painted landing pads. As agreed earlier on phone, successful landing will be rewarded by 500 euros base salary. You will also get notable company performance bonus the less you use our time and fuel. As I explained already earlier you will not get mileage compensation since you travel with company vehicle. In the unlikely event you crash the lander to the landing pad and cause no environmental hazard the union has forced us to compensate you with 100 euros, but trust me... we will not be happy although insurance will cover the caused damage.

Here is the mandatory flight controls & job agreement recap:

In order to navigate with lander's computer push the cursor-buttons to the direction where you need to add thrust. Pitch & roll controls were cancelled due to unfortunate cut downs on engineering department. There are anyway vertical speed and fuel consumption meters available on top of your control screen to help you. Be warned that this lander's legs are not very sturdy, so too much either lateral or vertical speed will be a recipe for disaster for sure. On landing make sure that your speedometer is always on green. Running out of fuel is also almost certain way to crash our fine and expensive lander.

This agreement covers total of 10 landing missions that we call with code name "levels". All of the missions income is calculated together and paid to you at end of your contract, no matter how many times we have to stitch you up before you complete all of them. After each mission you will see summary of the money you've earned as well as total income that was required by tax inspector during his last visit. You can notify us that you are ready to start a new mission by pressing "SPACE"-button. In case you feel that your overall project is going south, you can just as well do us a favor and blow your self up. This can be done by pressing self destruction button. Please note that due to recommendations of our company official wellness council this button is now named as "ESC" on your controls (they say it sounds less negative). After latest review it has been also updated to detonate the lander without any stress causing count down. The money you have earned will be displayed, given to charity and we will forget you in no time as we don't need to pay your retirement pension.

Thank you for your co-operation and good luck with your new challenge!

Greetings,
Fin executive management + HR

Ps. Naturally our flight program is 100% safe, verified and fool proof, but just in case we consider you and you alone responsible for any possible problems. This program should be executable on any MSX compatible computer out there (like ie. Sony HB-G900 mounted to MIR space station. See pic here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Interior_of_Mir_Core_Module.jpg ) No fancy extensions or similar are required in order to guarantee smooth flight even in challenging environments.
