"Apollo 47 Technical Handbook"
 
   This doesn't quite fit anywhere else but, here we go.

In a somewhat alternate Earth in a rather different 1987 you will explore the Moon on the 47th Apollo Mission! The Moon! Where forty-six other moon missions have gone before. Forty-six. That's an awful lot of successful Moon missions.

In the book is
1 page containing the game
9 pages containing advice on how to play the game
13 pages containing useful prompts for operating the game
1177 pages are reproductions of NASA manuals and papers related to the Apollo missions which can, if you need it, provide prompts to spur you on. Spoiler: I never use the prompt pages and don't really expect you to do so. They just aren't necessary for play.
If it gets interesting then you're playing the game wrong.
It's basically an excuse to buy a reproduction of all the Apollo mission papers and manuals in a book that's 8.5" x 11" and weighs over seven pounds if you get the hardcover copy.
I think I'm spending $50 US in the next few days.

Technically, only 45 of them were successful, unless in this AU Apollo 13 landed. ;)

   I mean, I'm sure the Apollo 13 crew would agree, any landing you can walk away from...

   So, came across these in a little hole-in-the-wall bookshop in Rockport today.
