Abandonware DOS title

Microsoft Space Simulator

Microsoft Space Simulator is a space flight simulator game developed by Bruce Artwick Organization and published by Microsoft in 1994. It is part of the broader range of simulation games that Microsoft released during the 1990s, but it focuses on space travel and exploration.
The simulator was known for its realistic representation of the physics of spaceflight, including Newtonian motion, gravity, and orbital mechanics. Players had to account for the vacuum of space, inertia, and thrust, making navigation a complex and challenging task.

Microsoft Space Simulator review

Electronic Games (1995): "Microsoft Space Simulator is hard to recommend to traditional game players as it is slow-paced, non-narrative and nothing dies at the player’s hands. Weak spots include a limited number of pre-constructed missions and a unimaginative use of sound and music.
Nonetheless, this is a game which sticks to its own guns, and serves up hours of enlightened interaction instead of adrenaline and anxiety. This isn’t a kid’s edutainment title precisely, but there’s plenty that is educational about it. Parents would do well to sit and play MSS with their kids, and everyone involved could learn a thing or two. MSS offers up interactivity which challenges the mind, and those with patience will be well rewarded."
