Following up to vid Horne, _the_ chancellor I'm not familiar with "the sims" That explains it! it explains nothing does it have scores and winners? Not the ones I've played, but it can have. then they were possibly simulations It's a TOY........... it may well be a toy, its also a simulator and not a game. You are confusing "profesional simulation" with "simulation". You are narrowly defining game, I think. i referred to a dictionary, its the usual way. I have OED in front of me. I'm right on this. Game is _not_ exclusive to sports etc. with a competitive element. -- (*) of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate -www.davidhorne.net (email address on website) "If people think God is interesting, the onus is on them to show that there is anything there to talk about.

Following up to vid Horne, _the_ chancellor That's OK, because scores and winners don't define what makes a computer game. they exactly do. No, they don't. Look up a proper dictionary, and read the definition carefully this time. willy waving dictionaries are you? You're the one pretending you know the definition. Try looking up simulation. Its much better matched to MSFS than game. It's perfectly matched to a game. I'm find with simulation game if that makes you feel better. -- (*) of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate -www.davidhorne.net (email address on website) "If people think God is interesting, the onus is on them to show that there is anything there to talk about.

It's perfectly matched to a game. its very poorly matched to game, having no competition. That's not the definition of a game. What's the point of arguing the point when you're clearly not researching the meaning properly? [] leisure simulation is much better, unless it comes up with some gameplay, scores, winners or competition, some of the key elements of games. "game.....especially a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck". Precisely. Now look up "especially." -- (*) of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate -www.davidhorne.net (email address on website) "If people think God is interesting, the onus is on them to show that there is anything there to talk about.

The point is it doesn't have to have a competitive element. You are saying MSFS is not a simulation. Competition does typify games. It's not exclusive to them. -- (*) of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate -www.davidhorne.net (email address on website) "If people think God is interesting, the onus is on them to show that there is anything there to talk about.
