Piloting a realistic spaceship is not as easy as it seems, Space Combat gives you four different ships and six scenarios to try your skills at this tricky art.

With no gravity you must counteract every movement you make to avoid losing control. The scenarios might seem simple but many of the manoeuvres are far harder than they seem and as everything happens much more slowly than a terrestrial fight simulator quite a lot of patience is required to fly well. There are more scenarios and space craft available for download on the internet.
