Having received luckykaa entry the other day about his new job in London designing computer games, I've thought about how skilled the youngsters get at these and that more 'training for real life' games should be available.

Supermarket grab, where you get given a list of things to buy. The supermarket's moved everything round, some things are out of stock (although you get initiative points if you choose a good alternative).
If you choose the late night option, you get some things cheap, but you might be too late for alcohol if you dither in the magazine setion etc... Oh, and if you're too long, your car gets broken into.

There is a sort of driving computer game for the hazrad perception test you now have to do. Yuor in a car and you have to click whenever you see it a developing hazard.

As for other ones - how about the dating game? It teaches you all the joys of going out on a first date

Man yeah! Teach guys a few of the basic do's and dont's and they start off with 10 lives, lose 1 for flirting insensitively with their best mate, gain 1 by complimenting something about their body they're already sensitive about (actually this could even gain even more than one life) lose them for talking too much about their exes (in good or bad terms...believe me...). Things like buying flowers would depend on previous actions cos us girls can be immensely flattered by it or, conversely, suspect their motives....

Actually. Forget it, how could a computer ever be programmed to emulate a woman's mind:-)

How about a shopping game.....you could have bloke and bird settings.

Bloke settings: you get more points the less time it takes you to find the item you want. Extra bonus points if you find yourself in HMV buying dvds you dont actually want.

Bird setting: You get more points the longer it takes you AND extra bonus points for visiting as many shops as possible and a bonus life for buying the item at the original shop.

And so on and so forth...
