To truly be an “authentic spaceflight simulator”, Apollo 18 should offer
boredom pricked with terror; unfortunately, the latter cannot be simulated.
Thrill as buttons fill the screen! Tremble as Mission Control tells you to press
one that isn’t there! The truth of an experience as technically complicated as
this would be conveyed much better through the chink of narrative than through
this panopticon of barely differentiated games. Published by Black Friar,
£39.99, ISBN 184050031X.
