A space flight simulator game is a genre of flight simulator video games that lets players experience space flight. Highly realistic examples lacking any sort of combat include Orbiter and Microsoft Space Simulator. Space flight simulator games are distinct from space-based shoot 'em up games that use side-scrolling or top-down perspectives.
Space flight simulators, at one time popular, have for most of the new millennium been considered a "dead" genre. However, massive effort of open-source communities has managed to produce some working, modern titles. It is remained to be seen whether this effort will re-vitalize the genre.
