Video games.

[George Patterson]

I guess most of us have seen the games that come on DVDs and play on TV sets?
Stuff like "Grand Theft Auto"? Well, my stepson is addicted to them, mainly an
NBA basketball game. Are there any games out there that are aviation based?

Note that I am not talking about something for a computer.

I'm pretty sure there are some fighter ace / top gun combat type games. as
far as flight sims, none that I am aware of.

You talking about Playstation or X-Box games? If so, yeah, there are a few
flight sim-type games out there -- but the ones I've seen are all very
arcade-like.

It's weird -- first-person military games have become incredibly realistic
(my 14 year old son has a Tom Clancy-inspired game, whose name escapes me,
and it's almost uncomfortably real), while the flight-sims have become
seemingly less so.

Well, lessee here -- the little box says "Playstation2" (yeah, I had to go
look).
