In Shuttle you have to pilot a NASA Space shuttle
through several missions from the first real test flights in the late 70's to capturing
satleites in orbit but I must warn you this is a VERY hard game and VERY complex by the
time you complete the game you should be able to fly a real Space shuttle you can download
it from www.theunderdogs.org go along there to
pick-up many other great freeware games. Rating 3/5 |

X-beyond the frontier is very like Elite in this game
you can trade with the local systems and even purchase your own space space stations where
other ships can purchase goods that you manufacture you can also mine asteroids by
constructing mining devices around them, but you can't land or even go near planets and at
the start of the game it can be very hard to start off it took me three weeks of playing
the game to construct my first space station and that was the most cheapest one
nonetheless this game is ok to play for purchasing this game go to www.beyondthefrontier.com or www.egosoft.com or even try www.thq.co.uk. Rating 4/5 |
