OLD Space shuttle games

[jn5519]

I loved the Simulator from virgin games also; spent many hours running the missions though I never got to the end. Had to move and sell my 386 PC. By the time I had bought a new 486 computer in 1995 and looked to buy MS Space Simulator, I couldn't find it in stores anymore; wonder why.  I'd still love to look at it. If anyone knows where I can get a copy, I'd be grateful. Also can anyone give me the site for the DOS emulator?

the best DOS Emulator is : DOSBox and you can find it here :

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/

For a better accessibility, you should use a front end like DOG (you can find it on the download page of dosbox)

I myself think DOG is an god-awful frontend for DOSBox, I myself don't use frontends anymore.. It's a real shame the guy who did the DFend frontend decided to stop development, it was by far the easiest and most user-friendly frontend out there.

Agree, Dfend was better but DOG is not so bad and work on Vista...
I don't want to loose my time with typing on the prompt DOS ...

Does DOG work flawlessly with the latest DOSBox? Do you know?

Affirm sir !

I still have the one by Virgin,original box, manual and on 3.5 disk, I wonder if the cockpit/flightdeck chart from that game will be useful in this new one. I am looking forward to buying this on the 25th if I can find a spot in the download line-hope its not too busy!

No use. SSM has the NEW panels layout and instrumentation and more panels than the Virgin Games oldie.
