I was reminded of 'space taxi' (which I guess was just a lunar-lander variation, come to think of it).

"pad 5 please"




"Up please!" - Yup. What a blast! https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/277378

"Space Taxi" added a bit more depth to the lunar lander concept by adding multiple pads and various vector fields for gravity to act in. Some game modes would accelerate you not downwards but instead towards the center of the map, away from it or around the center in a circle some way. Quite the brain-teaser for my kid brain back then that hadn't previously been exposed to physics/maths like that.
