Harvest Moon is fun. And its romances are better than those in Baldur's Gate II.

For a proposal for a realistic game, what about Master Welder?

Hehe... A couple of years ago there was a guy in the Interactive Fiction scene who made a game called Alpha Centauri or something. You were supposed to be the first man to travel to AC. People were not amused when they found out it played in real time

Madden Football. First play you suffer a career ending injury. Or you get busted for doing drugs. Or you kill someone and spend years in jail.

Madden football never addresses these issues. I'd like to see them.

Madden Football. You have no control over what's going on, but have to make insightful commentary for the entire match, and not spend it staring at the cheerleaders. You also have to sit next to an idiot with the title "Colour commentator", who doesn't know as much as you about the game, but is on a comparable salary because the suits think he's funny.

Actually, the length of real time to Alpha Centauri merely depends on your speed... If you can go as fast as light...

It will still take years

Although it will be much shorter for the crew if relativistic efforts are taken into account.

I just loved how if you had a few people living in the house at the same time they would ALWAYS go into the bathroom while someone else was on the toilet or having a bath, stopping the first person's activity, wasting time and then they both just stand there doing nothing and it ends up with neither accomplishing what they went in to do.

Hmm the doorbell is ringing, I'll slowly stop what I'm doing and walk into the adjacent room over 45 minutes and then answer the door. And I'll wake up at 3am so I have enough time to walk downstairs and eat a few crackers before I have to leave for work at 8am.

i seem to remember this getting alot of press due to it being very realistic(in the survival sense)?

But for a new game:

Global love-up: try to make all nations see eye to eye in this politicaly tense strat game. Use diplomacy, use bribes, use favours to balance the impossible scales. The main aim of the game is to use the worlds resources to achieve a balance of goods and trade so all nations can prosper and meet the needs of their people.

Maybe there will be an add-on that will introduce bathroom doors with locks.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

You can put male and female bathroom doors on, so at least the problem is halved by males refusing to use female toilets and vise-versa. My solution is far more elegant though - just have a two-square room for the toilet and a two-square room for the shower. The objects themselves take up one square, the door the other, so there be no room for another sim to invade.

There are many heros saving the world - which leaves the important work to the rest of us.

There is no sink. A dishwasher removes dishes faster and a shower increases hygiene faster.
