Definition:
Simulation game apps are designed to closely simulate aspects of reality. The category has been defined by titles (produced by the video game developer Maxis) such as SimCity, which involves building and designing an urban city from scratch, and The Sims, which simulates suburban family and social life with human relationships, home improvement, and the pursuit of happiness. Various flight simulators also offer highly realistic simulations of flying commercial airplanes, with aerodynamics, weather changes, and traffic control in airports.Additional Information:
