EPISODE 288 - SPACE SHUTTLE: A JOURNEY INTO SPACE

ATARI BYTES

Play a space game requiring super technical, minor adjustments to thrust vectors and yaw?

More like YAWN, amirite?

In 288, we're playing Activision's (squee!) 1983 space shuttle simulator SPACE SHUTTLE: A JOURNEY INTO SPACE. Instead of, we suppose, a journey into the local supermarket. The game is a technical marvel. But is it fun? Is it really even a game? Let's discuss.
