Lunar Command
Lunar Command is a newer version of Moonbase that can run on your modern PC. I had a dig around and really, I can see no difference except for I think maybe airlocks weren’t available in the other version, but I’m not sure. Plus,it now runs on computers properly and the menu’s are in English as opposed to gibberish.
Lunar Command like Moonbase was not very popular, yet is one of the best sim games I have ever played. You create a base on the moon and then mine minerals (or create electronics and material) which you sell back to earth. You have to get producing/mining goods to sell right away because NASA withdraw their support very early on in your mission.
I’ve added the manual as a link below which I got from HOTU. I figured I could redirect you over there to get it and you can, visit www.the-underdogs.info or you can save their bandwidth and download it here.

[…] This game was released a few years later as Lunar Command, which will run on a modern PC. I recommend downloading this version instead. […]

[…] Another great game added. I have added Lunar Command which is a newer but identical version of Moonbase from the same creators. It’s basically just updated to run on newer PC’s. Yet, it was still 15 years ago, so it’s not _that_ new […]

Where is the water I can’t find H2O in any of the large craters , and I’m not sure if I’m using the ‘exploration missions’ correctly . I don’t get any feedback as to what is in the ground at the site of the flag!?!? I also have to hold down the ‘Alt’ key and press ‘F’ for file , ‘V’ for view ,’Tab’ key to select from Hab Mods, scientific, manufacturing,ect. I would really like to find a complete manual to this game since I have become addicted to it. Also I,m not sure what the benefits of roads are or where to place them. I have more info and questions if anybody replies.

Zip magic says the DOS executable file is corrupt. Is there a fix for this?

It’s interesting to build one base after reading through the manual, but after that there really isn’t much of a point in continuing or replaying.
