Reminds me of a shuttle simulation game ...

I remember playing a game on the original NES console - the name escapes me for the moment - one level of which involved landing the space shuttle.

Looking at the BBC's article it appears that the game was quite an accurate representation of the procedures involved. Not that my abilities as a "virtual commander" were really good enough!

yeah I tried that game too...

I think the game ended with "cyber notification of next of kin".
After several tries my friend begged me NOT to try again since I
wasn't getting any better with practise. LOL
