	Simulation game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A simulation game, or sim game, (also known as a game of status or mixed game) is a game that contains a mixture of skill, chance, and strategy to simulate an aspect of reality, such as a stock exchange.
		Tactical war games and operational war games simulate small-scale battles, typically involving a few hundred or at most a few thousand soldiers, and are commonly real-time tactics or turn-based tactics games.
		In life simulator games, which sometimes overlap god games, a virtual life, career, etc. is simulated.

	Simulation Training Systems
		Opie, in Children's Games in Street and Playground (1969), points out that when children are confined to school grounds, they tend to play competitive games with winners and losers (what we are calling here "contest games").
		The difference between a pure contest and a contest game is the relative importance of the conditions under which the contest is conducted.
		Another way to differentiate between the game contest and pure contest is to realize that in the pure contest the participants will always be seeking ways to reduce the competitive aspects of the situation and at the same time increase their chances of winning, regardless of whether it makes the competition fairer.

		None of these games have been released in English yet, so if you want to play them you'll either have to be able to read Japanese, or you'll have to play with a game guide telling you what the choices are in each scene.
		Games in this category are often portrayed in 3D isometric view and allow you to control aspects of the environment.

	Is Reality a Simulation Game?
		Given that the number of future simulated beings far surpasses the number of living beings, the argument goes, we must conclude that it is probable we are simulated beings as well.
		That is, it is probable that we are part of the simulations of the human species from the future; we are nothing but a reproduction of the state of Earth as programmed by the real, technologically-advanced humans.
		Likewise, the "simulated reality" argument posits a situation where we are fooled into thinking that we are "in reality" when we are really in a simulation.

		And when it comes to that point in the game where this panel demands the truth (and says they're "entitled" to the truth) I want a little drop-down menu that will let me tell them that they, in fact, can't handle the truth.

		If the game universe operates in a realistic manner, it can also be manipulated in a realistic manner.

	Zork: A Computerized Fantasy Simulation Game (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Zork "simulates the universe" in an environment containing 191 different "rooms" (places to be) and 211 "objects." The vocabulary includes 908 words, of which 71 are distinct "actions" it handles.
		The existence of Zork is a direct consequence of the existence of two excellent games: Dungeons and Dragons, a fantasy simulation game (not computer based) invented by Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax, and Adventure, a computerized fantasy simulation game originally written by Wil Crowther and later extensively expanded by Don Woods.
		However, the substrate of the game (the data types, parser, and basic verbs) is sufficiently independent that it would not be too difficult to use it as the basis for a CFS language.
