Well, I am aware of the following space flight simulations:

- Space Simulator.(Microsoft), DOS, 1993-1994.

- Shuttle: The Space Flight Simulator (Virgin/Vektor Grafix), DOS,
1991-1992, still the best, IMHO.

- Precision Approach - Shuttle Approach and Landing Simulator (Binary
Star ltd), DOS, 1994-1995.
A demo is still available at http://www.binarystarltd.com .

- Return to Apollo (Gemini Dreams), a new Apollo missions simulator,
still under development, Win95/98 and Macintosh.
http://www.io.com/~koffer/GeminiDreams/Apollo/Apollo.html .
Maybe this sim will be as Apollo 18 by Aimgames should have
been.......... :-)

- ILM: Icarus, the Lunar Module, a LM simulator  by Ivan Scheers,
still under development.

- AOK! The Wings of Mercury, a Mercury capsule simulator.
http://www.interactivemagic.com/aok/ .
At present the only available version is for Macintosh, but a Windows
version is announced.

- Two very interesting Mir Space Station simulation demos for DOS at 
http://www.softlab-nsk.com .
One concerns a virtual reality simulation of the interior of 
the Mir module "Priroda", and has some panels with working instruments
and switches.
The other is an external simulation which allows to float
around the Mir.

- Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space (Interplay).
  This is not a spacecraft simulation, but is very interesting anyway.
   I still play it.
