You are in the hot seat of the Space Shuttle Discovery. The object is to achieve orbit, dock with the satellite as many times as you can and, finally, point the thing Earthward and land it.

As you can imagine, all of this is not accomplished without a little difficulty, which is why those nice people at Activision give you a 36 page flight manual to help you work it out. Like most flight simulators, the game relies less on manual dexterity than the ability to simultaneously read a dozen different instruments and make appropriate course changes.

It should prove a challenge to all but the most accomplished simulator pilots. Graphics are good and sound, whilst used sparingly, is realistic.
