Hi Darrell,

I do not have a direct answer to your question about a description of the NASA game. 

There is a description on one of John's tapeset's from the 1980's that very closely resembles the new code games people are discussing here.  I believe it is "Advanced Modelling" but I can't say for sure.  These tapes are available from www.metamodels.com.  All of those tapesets are very interesting.  Some years back when I was leading an NLP study group, we copied the exercises from the tapes with quite good effect (in our opinion).

For more information on what Dr. Tabb does there are a couple of other written sources that I am aware of.  Dr. Tabb used to work with a man named Robert C. Pepper (yes Dr. Pepper) whose work sounds very similar to what Tabb now calls PST.  I have no idea of how Tabb and Pepper's work are different.

Pepper wrote a book called "A Multi-sensory Approach to Processing Information & Learning" (Dr. Tabb wrote the Introduction to the book).  It describes a number of games as well as his basic underlying theories and the goals of the "games" he plays.  To what extent it's related to New Code NLP games I can't say.  The book is available from the Optometric Extension Program (www.oep.org).

In addition there is a fairly detailed description by Jacob Liberman of his work with Dr. Pepper and how it affected both his vision and his learning disabilities in the book "Take Off Your Glasses and See".  (available on amazon.com). 

While I haven't taken New Code training nor PST training I have read as much as I can about both and experimented quite a bit.  The descriptions in these books may be helpful in learning how to execute some of the games in New Code.  The use of the New Code games seems very different to me than the original context that Tabb/Pepper use them.  Without knowing the design variables John has used in contructing New Code games it may be difficult to correctly apply the PST work in the way John and Carmen intend.
