Too complex for its own good

Microsoft Space Simulator is one of the most complicated simulators ever released for the DOS. Developed by Charles Guy and published by Microsoft, this game turned off a lot of player due to the fact that only the people with technological knowledges had any clue what was happening in the game. But does it really deserve that much negative attention? Well, to be honest I had more fun in this game than with the first Flight Simulator. There are a lot more things to do in the game, there is a selection of spacecraft that you can choose from and there even some tasks in the game that you can complete. However, I can confirm that the user interface is a bit complicated and a little overambitious. Had the developers made it more simpler, maybe the game would have fared better. This is truly of those games where you constantly need to consult the instruction manual. But, once you got everything under control, the game can become fun. In conclusion, Space Simulator is a fun little game, but most people will probably will not enjoy it's too complex style of gameplay. If you're a person with a lot of patience then maybe this game is for you.

Complicated interface

Complicated interface. If you are a bit of a tecchy this is for you. Has a bit of a steep learning curve that put me off andI did not quite get the results I wanted from this sim. The graphics and sound are good but it is a game for people with patience and a bit of time on thier hands. Download it and have fun landing on the moon or the fewspace stations that are in orbit.
