Great way to put it Tim.

I was more of an Unreal Tournament man in my young gaming years.

Nevertheless, I've played (was addicted) to many other games too. I even found playing ridiculous amounts of hours on Colin McRea rally, made me anticipate well on a couple of near misses while real car driving years later.

"Those Dirty Games" make kids anti-social and stupid.
It's both a huge disadvantage and yet can be seen as an advatage in another way.

Often we travel along the coast of North France. Because I've played Medal of honor back in the days, I recognized many places and even recal some of the missions, which resonate well (if not perfectly) with the information persented at those real locations.

When you've played racegames before, many will be living within the pilots mind when they look at real F1 racing on the television.

You can go on and on. (And I'm talking about two decades ago)

But the kicker is what you said.

You want to play exactly non of those games with cheat codes, It cuts the fun away from a thousand hour pleasure game in a half hour.

Just like a cheatcode for life could suck all the enjoyment out of life!

Tim, thanks again for how you have put this one together!
