[QUOTE=FriarTed] It’s been said several times here but I’m the first one to coin the title… Simschwitz: Arbeit mach frei! [/QUOTE] There actually was such a game created by a Neo-Nazi called [KZ Manager](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KZ_Manager) (“KZ” being the abbreviation for the German phrase for “Concentration Camp”). ---

[QUOTE=control-z] Well I guess I’ll have to put up my idea for Interstate Driving Simulator. It’s pretty much like driving on the Interstate. A long randomly generated road with varying amounts of traffic. You can stay with the flow or try to run flat out. Drive as long as you like. [/QUOTE] That sounds a little bit like Penn and Teller’s “Desert Bus”, except it didn’t have traffic and you lost if you didn’t drive the speed limit. ---

[QUOTE=Spoons] \*\*CFC 2000: \*\*Driving simulator. “CFC” stands for Classic Family Cars, and this games got 'em all–as long as they were pre-2000 models. Take the challenge of trying to get a 1977 Ford Fairmont up to speed on the Interstate, or see if you can handle the “three on the tree” manual transmission on that 1962 Mercury Comet. Sold Separately: the Station Wagon Module, in which you see if you can drive a 1974 Country Squire (among other wagons) through a suburban mall parking lot while four unbelted-in and loud kids hang out in the back of the wagon.

[QUOTE=Argent Towers] SimPlantation: you control an antebellum cotton plantation in the South, complete with slaves. Gameplay elements would include hiring overseers, hunting for runaways, slave auctions, and trying to keep the “boss lady” from discovering your affair with that hot little mulatto number who works in the kitchen. [/QUOTE] Although avoiding the race issue, _[Tropico 2: Pirate’s Cove](http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/tropico2piratecove/review.html)_ largely is this- you run a plantation on a carribean island during the age of sail, worked by captured slaves, for the purpose of outfitting pirate ships which you then send out to capture more slaves and loot. Many reviewers have refered to it as “Slave Tycoon”. ---

Probably a lot of real life simulators that wouldn’t make it. SimTax - as an IRS auditor, use real tax rules to audit a variety of tax returns. Hear the same mind-dead excuses by filers over and over again. Work within a mind-numbing bureacracy - do you know the number of days to retirement? Public Works: Bakersfield. Spectator Yacht Racing - from your perfect vantage place on shore, try to figure out which vessel is doing what, and why. Afterwards, visit the local yacht club’s bar and hear all about what happened from such a bunch of sober, objective, truthful mates as never existed. Feel the passions that explode when you accidentally refer to any of the “ropes” on a sailboat. ---

**Goon** - you play as one of the anonymous, generic, armored goons in a typical FPS that the hero has to kill hundreds of. You’re probably wearing a gas mask or a ski mask, since the programmers never seem to want to make individual face models for the enemies in FPSs and so they use the mask cop-out. Watch as dozens of your comrades get slaughtered, and try as hard as you can to kill the lone hero, who for some horribly unfair reason has 60 times as much health as you do and is able to carry nine weapons on his person. The one advantage that you have is that you never run out of ammunition. Because bad guys in shooters NEVER run out of ammunition. I have never played a single FPS where the enemies could run out of ammo. ---
