Games that try to simulate real-world activities (like driving vehicles or living the life of someone else) with as much realism as possible. Simulators generally require more study and orientation than arcade games, and the best simulators are also educational.
Featuring extraterrestrial beings, these games often explore themes of space travel, alien invasions, or interstellar diplomacy. Encounter mysterious life forms, defend against alien threats, or uncover the secrets of the cosmos in these otherworldly adventures.
