## Project history and usage

Moon Buggy is a small ASCII terminal game by Jochen Voss. The author's project page describes it as a character-graphics game in which the player drives a car across the moon's surface and jumps over craters. The same page places it in the lineage of the 1982 arcade game Moon Patrol and a 1983 Commodore 64 clone, while identifying Voss as the author of the later ASCII version.

### How it is used

The Unix packaging history is modest but durable: the Ubuntu manpage records copyright 2004 and credits Jochen Voss as the implementer, while the project page links to Debian packages, Slackware packages, a fan page, and a GNU Brave GNU World mention. As a Homebrew package it lives in the same nostalgic terminal-games niche as other ncurses or text-mode diversions: easy to build, easy to run over SSH or in a minimal terminal, and more culturally interesting than technically large.
