Humour a geek here, but where are all the simulators? I did a brief search for some Combat Simulators that would push my new PC to the limits, you know the type - 6000 different controls/commands, a completely immersive experience the likes of which used to be very popular.
Now I look on Gamerankings.com to find the best Combat Military Jet Simulator they have rated was made in 1999 or earlier. The one I want - Janes FA/18 which got the most praise is pretty much impossible to find even on ebay. I've ordered Enemy Engaged which sounds pretty good.
What happened to the PC Gamers love affair with the ridiculously complicated simulator? Have our attention spans been reduced to that of dumb beasts, have we the memory of gold fish, have we the memory of gold fish, have our attention spans been reduced to that of dumb beasts, have we the memory of gold fish?
Anyone remember X-Wing or Tie-Fighter? They were bloody amazing. How about a remake now that we have PC's that could create something really special. Frontier Elite 4 anyone?
I'd settle for a ripping submarine or tank sim with a 4000 page operations manual. Microprose, come back, all is forgiven.
Oh and don't suggest Flight Sim 2002 or Train Simulator, that's venturing into the realm of uber-geek. I remember a 'game' on the Spectrum called Lawn Mower Simulator. *shudders*
