Real Lives - Free demo

[Critch]

While messing about with google yesterday I stumbled across this little "game". Real Life is a piece of educational software that simulates life in one of 190 countries, it's pretty basic but a nice timewaster none the less.

Game kicks off by telling you where you've been born and family details, then you advance one year at a time while making little decisions here and there, how to spend freetime, when to apply for jobs or find a wife, things like that. And that's it.

Here's (http://www.educationalsimulations.com/) the linkie.

Fun little game, nice time waster.

I bought this software. I like it pretty well, although it changes my screen resolution when I start it up, and it doesn't change it back after I'm done. I e-mailed support about it, and they never replied. Gah.

I'm sure it's right in front of me, but what added stuff do you get when you buy it?

I'm sure it's right in front of me, but what added stuff do you get when you buy it?They claim that you get "zoomable" satellite maps, but I think that's if you get it on CD. It doesn't happen if you buy the downloadable version, though. Other than that, you don't get anything additional. The time limit is just gone.

Came across it a long time ago - its an interesting concept and quite fun to mess around with.

If someone took it under their 'wing' and developed it as an actual game then I think it could be 'huge' in a similar vein to the Sims/Sim-City personally ....
