It is most likely that Lunar Lander is compiled for SDK level 3 or below, and thus only supports HVGA medium-density screens. Thus when running on a high-resolution device the Android OS puts the app as a 'postage stamp' in the middle of a larger window.
Take a look at http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html for more info - you'll need to change the minSdkVersion or targetSdkVersion in the manifest and compile against at least SDK level 4.
