Thanks Mark! Unfortunately the link to the HP support pages, for the Lunar Lander and other HP 30b program examples, is broken, and has been for a few days. I have taken a copy, as best I can, from Google's archived version - but that's only a temporary workaround. (Search for [30b lunar c02047259])
Here's an archive of the cached version, and these are the contents:
HP 30b Business Professional Calculator - Programming Examples in RPN Mode
Programming on the HP 30b
Example 1: Calculating digits of PI
Example 2: Finding prime factors of an integer
Example 3: Base conversions for bases 2-10
Example 4: Lunar lander game from the 1975 HP 25 Applications Program book
Example 5: Guess the secret number game
