The shuttle represented a future where all of mankind worked together to reach the stars. It represented cutting-edge technology. It was a link between reality and science fiction. And hell, it was pretty cool too, and game developers embrace cool สล็อต things.

Space Shuttle: A Journey Into Space Publisher: Activision Platform: Atari 2600 Release Date: 1982 Back before Activision was an evil empire, the focus was purely on squeezing every ouch of power out of whatever gaming system they happened to be developing for at the time.
