1. Microsoft Space Simulator

Description of Microsoft Space Simulator

Along with Interplay's Shuttle, definitely one of the best space simulators ever released.

Similar in concept to the better-known MS Flight Simulator, this game lets you pilot various spacecrafts, ranging from NASA space shuttles to futuristic space stations. Excellent details (especially planets in SVGA resolution), realistic space flight dynamics, and versatile camera & film options. The steep learning curve is eased by excellent on-line tutorials and help files.

Note: The game has long been discontinued by Microsoft, but its legacy lives on. Check out Orbiter, an outstanding (and free!) space flight simulation that is continually being developed and expanded.

I thought it was a very good game. It works well on dosbox

I got hemorrhoids from not going because I could not stop playing this. Can I sue Microsoft for damages?

Paulinho2019-02-210 point

Yeah, Yeah.

Capt Obvious2018-06-290 point

So we have one guy with 5 copies of the original box, and one guy with only the manual - but no one has posted the manual??
..thanks for letting us know. I feel much better about not having access to a manual, just knowing that there are definitely some available being unused.

I found this game in 2017 and played . had trouble playing this on new pc , but i could play it on my old win98 PC very easily . And I thought , even in 2017 , this is the best game I have played . I wonder why MS abandoned this gem . SS is much more fun than Flight simulator . Why cant spacecraft sim be more fun than plane sim ? you know .

It runs fine in DosBox but it does not like my virtualBox version of Dos for some reason.

Alp2017-02-111 point

TO INSTALL:
Run Disk1.exe
Run FINISH.bat
For Graphics, select max resolution and for video card, select option #0.
Everything else is explained by the installation program. A couple of file errors occur, but the game should run fine.

i dont get how to install the game

In doing so, however, you'll push the price just shy of $2,000. Mac pro gaming laptop. If that happens, you might want to consider our No.

I try to start the game, and FAIL. Any ideas on what's wrong? The screen flashes, then returns to DOS BOX, showing this at top:
Microsoft Space Simulator (C) 1997 BAO Ltd.
Thanks in advance.

@What: Commenting about outdated graphics on a game from '94... 'Fail'.

What2014-02-11-4 points DOS version

Wow, look how pixellated the earth looks in the 3rd screenshot. Fail

grummbunger2014-01-270 point DOS version

@wilbur0311 that is because it is a dos game, because of that you need to run it in a DOS BOX.

wilbur03112013-06-050 point DOS version

cant get this to run

..This sim has a major place in computer history: it was the last program Micro$oft released that was a DOS-specific program. After this, everything M$ developed only ran on some form of Windows.
..There was an expansion set in the works when this came out that would add a Mercury-Atlas, a Soyuz booster, and one of the early Nova designs - probably the 'Saturn 8' - with scenarios for each. The Atlas one was to be John Glenn's flight, which would have been very welcome. Alas, the sim sold poorly, and M$ employees were given stacks of the boxed set to give away just to get them out of the warehouse. Which is how I got my five copies, natch.
..Be advised: this is like Orbiter, in that it works on actual physics. So unless you know how orbital mechanics works, don't be surprised if you find docking to the space station a total bitch and a half. The manual for this is a must, and IIRC a PDF of it was posted online a couple of years ago. Google might help you find it, but I had no luck this time around. My Google-Fu failed me, much to my shame :( :(

I had this game in 1994 but only played it for a week before someone stole my 386 computer and software. They took all my software. All I had left was the manual I had with me to study. I keep the manual all time time and now I can use the simulator again. It's not a game. More like a study of astrophysics. Thanks.

so cool
