Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator (2010)
Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator is a multiplayer, multi-computer networked game for Windows computers, and now iOS devices too. It simulates a spaceship bridge by networking several computers together. One computer runs the simulation and the “main screen”, while the others serve as workstations for the normal jobs a bridge officer might do, like Helm, Communication, Engineering, and Weapon Control. Artemis is a social game where several players are together in one room (“bridge”) playing, and while they all work together, one player plays the Captain, a person who sits in the middle, doesn’t have a workstation, and tells everyone what to do.
Artemis was developed by Thomas Yates and released in 2010. It has been praised for its realism and its ability to create a truly immersive experience for players. Artemis has been used by NASA to train astronauts, and it is also popular with gamers who enjoy space simulation games.
Gameplay
Artemis is played on a network of computers, with one computer serving as the “server” and the others serving as “clients”. The server computer runs the simulation and the “main screen”, which displays the view from the bridge of the spaceship. The client computers each run a different workstation, such as Helm, Communication, Engineering, or Weapon Control.
Each player takes on the role of a different bridge officer, and they must work together to operate the spaceship and complete missions. The Captain is responsible for giving orders to the other bridge officers, and they must make decisions based on the information that is available to them.
Artemis is a challenging and rewarding game that requires teamwork and communication. Players must be able to work together effectively in order to succeed. The game is also very realistic, and it provides players with a unique opportunity to experience what it is like to be on a spaceship bridge.
