Space Shuttle: A Journey into Space is a space flight simulator game designed by Steve Kitchen and published by Activision in 1983.[1] It is one of the first realistic spacecraft simulations available for home systems. Space Shuttle was developed for the Atari 2600,[2] then ported to the ZX Spectrum (1984),[3] Commodore 64 (1984),[4] Amstrad CPC (1986), and MSX (1986)[5]
The player controls the most critical flight phases such as Launch, Stabilizing Orbit, Docking, Deorbit Burn, Reentry, and Landing, each with its own set of instructions to follow.[1] The original Atari 2600 version came with an overlay since it made use of all the switches.[6]
