Tronica: Shuttle Voyage

Shuttle Voyage, nicely (and proudly) sitting in a corner of my room

Shuttle Voyage... well, it's really not easy to find information about this game. So, let's work a little bit! According to the manual, it's a 'handheld calculator with clock, alarm and game function'. Great.

Let's talk about the calculator first: it's able to handle 8 digits, and perform additions, substractions, multiplications, divisions and % functions. Decimals are supported too. That thing is a beast! :D

Regarding the clock and alarm, it's able to display hours (12 hour display with PM), minutes and seconds. When the handheld is in Clock Mode, then a game demo is performed.

...OK, what about the game then? The player is able to choose between 2 skill levels: Game A and Game B (does it remind you anything?). The goal is to land a shuttle on a planet while avoiding invaders that are attacking from above and below. Nasty invaders! The game ends when the shuttle has been hit 3 times, and the maximum score is 999 (funny, since it's able to display 8 digits, but anyway...).

I bought 'Shuttle Voyage' in april 2012 for 40€ (+6.50€ of shipping costs from France).
