Re: A modest proposal: Orbiter metagame

[gull <gull@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Great idea, but just to let you know...There was a C=64 game based on
exactly the same theme. I will try to dig up my archives and give you the
details. It was most definatly related to The Space Shuttle and building
space stations, etc. depending or your ability to manage the many workings
of NASA, including crew selection and many other aspects. I realize it is
anciect history compared to the potential for Orbiter (by the way I also
own "Shuttle the Space Flight Simulator" for DOS by Virgin Games if anyone
would like to check out what the actual panels in orbiters look/work like)
I will try to get any info that may help you ASAP. Orbiter rocks!

P.S. Not to sound in any way critical, but Spectrum Holobyte also had a
DOS sim called Orbiter. I imagine most of you know about these (if you're
old like me) :) Thanks, and again...no critisizm here just wondering about
any potential ideas you could use from those old titles.
