I'm a Sucker for these things.

We're gamers, so here is a good place to discuss other games you are playing or are curious about.

Holy cr*p, next we'll have a "motorist stuck for 5 hours in a traffic queue" simulator.

These games must be cheap as cheese to churn out - a couple of 3d modellers, a couple of half-assed artists and a coder for some probably extremely simple game mechanisms.

Its a whole world away from a fighting sail simulation which has simply millions of variables compared to digging a hole and dumping the spoil in a truck!
Your totally right saddletank. These guys have taken a basic game engine, and just pop these babies right the door like there is no tomorrow. They must have heard about me, and me being a sucker for them otherwise they would stop making them. :)

Woodcutter Simulator.. :laugh:

How about Dentist Simulator? Go in for a routine cleaning, and boom you're hit with a root canal!
Haaaaa, wait for it, I'm sure there are those who would pile on board to get their copy. I was a sucker for the Operating Room simulator (I can't remember the real name of the sim), I would suspect that filling a tooth might just be as exciting. (nope). :)

Holee Molee, it gets worse.

I just broke down and sent them a begging email.
Haaaa. There are some How To videos on this sim. I watched it, watched it again to make sure... sheer boredom. Big yawner of a sim.

There is a demolition sim out there which uses the Halflife 2 engine. I can't remember the name of it but I have to say, blowing things up does have it's moments. :cheer:

On another forum a good while back we had a joke thread of "Computer Games You Would Not Buy" and people were coming out with stuff like:

Coal Miner
Milk Float Racing
Lawyer!
Watching Paint Dry III
Gridlock!
Pencil Sharpener Gold Edition

and so on.
HITS & Couriers - a different and realistic way to play SoW MP.
