Space: Space Walk: BBC (B) 40/80 Track
Product Description The program included in this pack is called Dynaman and it provides a fascinating animated simulation of astronauts in space contending with a frictionless and gravity-less environment. The movement of the astronauts can be controlled by the user, and at the higher levels of the program they have to attempt to repair a damaged satellite while avoiding passing meteors and other satellites, and then return safely to their space shuttle.
