Pretty much sums it all up. Nice to see some attention for RSC. And the community in general.

You notice the "related article" about garbage truck simulator?

I thought you were kidding, but I checked again, and who'd a thunk it?!?! Garbage Truck Sim!!! It got a score of 32. Not very good. Probably has bad physics. :-)

[styckx]

Probably by the same people who made this.

Interesting, but somewhat brief review.
Seems he focused his comments more about the upgrade from RW2 to RW3 though, but fair enough.

And the "Garbage Sim" looks rather laughable, but that "Street Cleaner Sim" looks strangely appealing.

[Chessie8638]

There be a sim for everything.

Myself, i'm waiting for "Mailman Simulator". I hear it's got some killer DLC: US Attack Dog Pack (with bonus Pit Bull), Rainy Day Fun scenario, and Desperate Housewife edition.

What, Jerry, you never heard of the "Postal" series? Postal 3 is due out soon! Hey, gotta love a publishing company called "Runs with scissors"

No, it's just rubbish...

Now that you mention it, I have seen passing references to that game in Max Pc. Honestly, ive never been much of a gamer. Back in the 90's, I was heavily into building levels for Duke Nukem and Redneck Rampage. Other than that, it was X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter, then MSTS, and now RW. Guess I need to stay in more!

Oh, no, that gets a "Ba Dump Bump Clash "

[LoneWolfDon]

Yes, there's a lot of "simulators" out there, and some really odd ones too.
Though some look completely rubbish, others are strangely.... interesting

Here's a Publisher I found with a list of Simulators it has;
http://www.excalibur-publishing.com/games_sims.htm
(Click the "Learn More" link under a sim-title there to see more info, screenshots and videos-trailers about it).

They've got a whole range of simulators from "Oil Platform", "Ski Resort", "Delivery Truck", "Traffic Manager", "Garden", "Road Construction", "Forklift", and several other thrilling titles

[arizonachris]

Uhhh, oh. "Surgery Simulator". Now that's just scary!

[LoneWolfDon]

Uhhh, oh. "Surgery Simulator". Now that's just scary!

I guess they forgot to mention, that playing through that "Surgery Sim", with least with a 55% success rate, is one of the tests that Surgeons-to-be in some countries have to take in order to pass their final exams and be Certified as a "Top Surgeon".

"Lives are in your hands as you take on the role of a top surgeon at a busy city hospital. With eight authentically recreated surgical procedures in your repertoire, your skills are much in demand."

Brain Surgeon career, here I come! (hey, some of those Surgeons make lots of ca$h)

[Griphos]

Wow, I never knew. I guess there's hope for my long-time secret project after all: Outhouse Sim! It doesn't have any DLC (of the more traditional sort), but there are levels. Aim well and you can upgrade from the seat with splinters....
