- This real-time 3-D flight simulator puts you at the controls of an advanced Enterprise Class Space Shuttle. Your mission is to deliver needed supplies to a space station orbiting the Earth. Your mission has four phases. In Earth Lift-Off, once your shuttle clears the launchpad, you must carefully control the pitch of your spacecraft to gain the proper vertical and horizontal velocity to achieve orbit. In Orbital Rendezvous, with your shuttle now in orbit, you must determine the correct thrust angle to boost your spacecraft into the space station's orbit. In Approach, you are now in the space station's orbit, but it is out of visual range. You must adjust the shuttle's three directional velocities to bring the shuttle to withing visual range of the space station. In Alignment and Docking, once you are within visual range of the space station, you must carefully maneuver the shuttle into the docking port in a sequence reminiscent of the docking sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).
- Your plane has crashed in a remote region of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Rescue? Forget it. You're on your own. Your only chance of surviving is to reach a distant ranger station that's indicated on a topographic map you pull from the wreckage. But you could have crashed anywhere in this regions, which is twice the size of the state of Delaware. To survive, you must determine your location using real navigational techniques, gather supplies from the wreckage, and prepare for the dangers ahead. Your journey is made difficult by harsh weather, rough terrain, and wild animals. Using information from screens reporting on your physical condition and survival gear and typing in command phrases (such as WALK FOR 10 MINUTES) for navigation, travel, food preparation, first aid, and using weapons, you journey through the wilderness, represented by a three-dimensional panorama of your surroundings. Combining the fun of an adventure game with the realism of a simulation, Wilderness tests the cunning of even the most woods-wise of outdoorsmen and teaches valuable skills needed in real wilderness outings.
