Shuttle

In the game, the players control a Space Shuttle that departs from the Vehicle Assembly Building and returns to Earth at the Shuttle Landing Facility.

The game is organized into missions that emulate the experience of Space Shuttle missions, including launching the Hubble Space Telescope and using the Manned Maneuvering Unit to repair satellites. Players are able to receive optional guidance for completing missions if they are struggling. During the course of the game, instructions are passed to the player through a teleprinter, and when those instructions require the player to use the shuttle controls, a flashing box indicates the appropriate switch or knob to use.

Stanley Trevena from Computer Gaming World applauded the level of detail accomplished in Shuttle, and stated that "Players with an interest in space and hard-core simulation fans alike will blast off into orbit with this new simulation from Virgin." The magazine ran it in their 1992 "Simulation of the year", which ultimately went to Falcon 3.0 by Spectrum Holobyte.

In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared Shuttle the 50th-worst computer game ever released.
