Was having a browse.

"theres Microsoft Flight Simulator..[carry on looking]...ohhh they have a Driving Simulator....gosh even a Ship simulator nowadays".

Carried on looking and this made me laugh, real packaged games for....

Garbage Truck Simulator
Street Cleaning Simulator
Delivery Truck Simulator

so funny, apparantly made by
http://www.excalibur-publishing.com/games_sims.htm

Has anyone tried these? Who in their marketing division thinks "guys guys, I'm onto something. Nothing quite like it in the market today. How about Street Cleaning Simulator !!!" *from another quote* "Say no more. Greenlight this baby. Get the team together and make it happen!"

It does make me wonder how these titles actually make money.

I know a young work colleague who plays 'farming simulator', and he's just bought a six core AMD bundle and that's the main game he plays :confused:

I wonder if there are businesses that use these games as training for new employees. That is literally the only thing I can think they'd be used for.

My son loves stuff like this. He is 3 years old and he thinks the big bin trucks and trains are amazing so if I saw these and I was with my son I would be forced to buy them.
