My problems pale in comparison...

Well, I was sorting through my box of old books -- found a couple of things I had forgotten about, including a second-run Star Wars issue, some Christian comics (about Corrie Ten Boom and the like), and more Disney titles than I remember owning as a child. But the one that stuck in my head was a game advertisement on the back of a computer magazine. From Activision, for the Atari 2600 ...in 1983.

For a Space Shuttle flight simulator.

Dammit.
