Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space, frequently abbreviated BARIS, is a 1993 space simulation and strategy game for MS-DOS. The player takes the role of Administrator of NASA or head of the Soviet space program with the ultimate goal of being the first nation to conduct a successful manned moon landing. A creator-approved open version (titled simply Race Into Space) has since been released, adding support for Macintosh and Linux.It is Nintendo Hard. If that doesn't discourage you, you can download the free version at its SourceForge page. There's also a commercial Updated Re-release, Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager, currently in development by Slitherine Ltd.

Anyone Can Die: Don't get too attached to your astronauts (including Aldrin himself, or for that matter, future administrator of NASA Richard H Truly). A small fault in the rocket can send them on a one-way trip to Arlington Cemetery (or the Kremlin Wall, if you're Russian).

Anachronism Stew: Moon footage is a mixture of Apollo 11 and 15, even if relating to the landings of Soviets, single person landers, direct ascent capsules or robotic probes.

Awesome, but Impractical: Minishuttles. They're a leapfrog into next-generation technology with three-man teams and reusable craft! They also do absolutely nothing that the more practical two-man capsule can't do, and they lack the equipment (kicker and docking module) built into the three-man craft (e.g. the Apollo capsule). In the SourceForge version, they are reusable (even when they blow up, you still have the same number in stock), but take more turns to research, add to this that they need a Saturn V or joint launch to lift off with any additional equipment.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Luck-Based Mission

Direct Ascent. Bang, zoom, straight to the moon! But the required vehicle and rocket are horribly expensive, especially if you're not using an intermediate capsule (which has its own problems). It's potentially the quickest and easiest path to the moon due to the lack of moving parts, but it's not a viable strategy unless you get an early lead that lets you fund it.

Alternate History

Alternate History: The game attempts to explore not only the historical route to the moon (capsule and lander launched on a single rocket) but also several other methods that had been proposed, along with some programs that either were never used or weren't used during the time period.
