I also remember that Asteroids game for the 4051.
FWIW I produced our wedding invitiations on a 4051, plotting them out on a
Tek x-y plotter - I forget the type number of this unit. However, that too
was pretty exotic stuff for 1978!
If I close my eyes I can hear the whirr of the cassette mechanism on the
front of the 4051.
As for lunar lander (haven't thought about that for decades!), when the 4052
came out the program was unusable. The computer was so much faster than the
4051 the trajectory took about 0.2 seconds - all you saw was a flash across
the screen, then the landscape redrew for the next go.
