are you playing a computer game? PS3? XBOX?

well after the 2nd patch ExtraTerrestrials plays superbly, no crashes and immense longevity - sequels not required, the game stands on it's own

ok it doesn't look anything like the new ENEMY UNKNOWN - nowhere near as sensational either but it certainly has it's moments and a superb learning curve too

I have been playing it since 2008 and have started over about 10 times because I just love it (mind you, without the 2nd patch you would be in trouble) and they ARE putting out a sequel "this fall"

what are you playing?

I do not play computer games anymore, I feel they suck too much time. I do once in a while watch someone review a game or see what is trending in sales.

The world of Video gameas is often not based on reality, a gun might shoot some energy thing and have infinte bullets, a car or person might exploded only to be reborn and restarted, it is all a simulation of gameplay and entertainment, game physics is sometimes like toonish world of cartoons. The planet Mars is showing up in games as often as cowboys or samurai or do, it has become a place in video games just like the United States of America or Europe and Asia and our oceans have become video game worlds, Mars features in games regular like anicent dragons or fantasy warrior from Rome and China do. The idea of a planet Mars in games it got popular has featured in Red Faction a shoot 'em up rebellion game, the original video game story was about a miners' uprising on Mars against the Ultor Corp. The planet Mars it has featured in Jamestown Legend of the Lost Colony a kind fo alternative steampunk universe with flying shooting ships, it has featured on old MS-DOS IBM era games Commander Keen, Mars has featured in a game called Marathon another shoot 'em up a first-person shooter video game, it was also part of the 'Doom' game series. Mars as a planet has been part of an exploration puzzle type game, featuring a subterranean Mars and puzzles about hidden alien creatures, this was a platform-adventure game built by an American company. Theer is an upcoming video game called 'Million on Mars' which might feature a colonization you see in simulations like 'The Sims' and city-building experience 'Surviving Mars' is closer to scifi and building and exploration concepts, it is a settlement-building Simulation Game.

I think 'space' as a frontier has very much become part of pop culture and video games although there might not be anything that recently had the impact of fictional works such as Star Trek, Voyage dans la lune aka A Trip to the Moon from 1902, or War of the Worlds or Star Wars.

Another game featuring Mars and War, gives off Total Recall vibes or psychological horror.

The Jaw-Dropping Sci-Fi Video Game Everyone Needs to Play Once
There's nothing else quite like this video game.
https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/the-ja … play-once/
Outer Wilds is a video game about exploring space, but it's also a mystery to unravel. Following in the footsteps of the Nomai, an alien race that perished thousands of years ago, Outer Wilds is a game that has you playing space detective, investigating the ruins of an extinct civilization in an attempt to find exactly what the hell happened? The twist: Outer Wilds is centered on a Groundhog Day-esque time loop. You have precisely 22 minutes to investigate before the sun implodes, taking your entire solar system with it. All that remains: The knowledge you acquired during those precious few minutes.
Outer Wilds is a mystery that reveals itself in a traditional video game manner -- through audio logs, written notes and so on -- but the execution is so inspired you barely notice the tropes. Through its inventive locales and subtle puzzles, Outer Wilds consistently inspires a level of awe unlike any video game I've ever played.

The Previous game looked like a mix of Moon 2009 with Sam Rockwell and Gravity 2013 with Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Ed Harris

Deliver Us The Moon is a puzzle adventure game experienced at various points of the narrative from either a first-person or a third-person perspective, which is determined by the type of action that must completed. For example, the camera shifts to a first-person perspective when the player controls a floating robot tied to a puzzle

From the Trailer it looks like a Horror theme more than Space Exploration theme

A game Hardpsace Shipbreaker You’re a “shipbreaker,” tasked with salvaging old spaceships, there will be more Star Trek and Star Wars games Starfields’ open-world sci-fi adventure is set on a barren moon. Starfield isn’t 'survival horror' but it is spooky and creepy but Dead Space is zombie aliens horror and humanity has resorted to destroying entire planets, a process called planet cracking.

Growing up isn't an easy task, especially when there's interplanetary family drama and puzzle solving involved.
Deliver Us Mars, a fresh entry from KeokeN Interactive released Feb. 2, brings us the Red Planet with a view from rookie astronaut Kathy Johanson. It features stunning cinematics and an interplanetary mystery to Mars that carry the space game along for its approximate 10-hour gameplay. But the puzzles and control movements may frustrate younger, less experienced or less agile players. Still, it's an early contender as one of the best space games of 2023.

Our Story
https://www.moonwards.com/about-us/
Moonwards was born at the National Space Society conference in Toronto in 2015. It was the first space conference I (Kim) had ever gone to. Towards the end of it, I was talking to one of the directors of NSS (Claire McMurray). I said to her, the NSS should make a virtual moon base online to show how it would really be. And Claire said, maybe. Why don’t you do that?
So when I got home I thought it over and got started. After a lot of reading, consultation, and work I cobbled together a few 3d models. They were very basic and naively designed. But when I talked to people in the space community about the concept, many were intrigued. It was enough to continue on.

Once the programming of Moonwards began, the project began morphing and hasn’t really stopped since. Game developers from the Godot community began poking their heads in, and some of them stayed. Over the two years that followed, my understanding of the nature of this project changed tremendously. In order to allow people to add things to it, and in some cases build things completely inside it, it would need a lot of code. But if those things weren’t possible, it would serve no purpose. I realized this was going to be a long, difficult haul.
Now we have a stable core team, a solid draft of all the major structures, and the code so that people can visit, look around, and talk about things with a chat system. There is a rover to drive, there is lots of information posted around, and more being added in a constant stream. New objects are being added on a regular basis, and now they come from outside sources. But Moonwards won’t be serving its purpose until much more functionality has been achieved. We’ve defined the steps to get there and are steadily working through them.

'Space VS Orbit'

https://everydayastronaut.com/space-vs-orbit/

To get back down into a lower circular orbit, the spacecraft has to do the exact opposite. It has to decelerate, coast down to perigee where it will have to decelerate again lowering its apogee until it matches its perigee.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE1A6T1cycU
To players of the video game Kerbal Space Program this concept will most likely feel very familiar.
