taczillabr: Just to be sure, are you being sarcastic?
Miaghstir: Yes, yes I am. Which is why I chose the genre with the lowest number of games.
"
Simulation" on the other hand, contains 23 games, though few of those are similar to what being asked for in this thread. I'm not actually sure how "Ghost master" fits into that category (though I haven't played the game, so I have no real reference), and I'd say at least Descent is borderline, the rest probably fit in various ways.
Yeah Descent (and Freespace) are somewhat between the others.
I think it is "Simulation", regarding life, management, micromanagement simulation. Spore, for example. Even those soccer games could be considered a simulation of real life. :P
And "Simulators", which are flight, tank, submarine simulators. Like Falcon 4.0.
