The Real Lives simulation offers a free demo from its site. I thought this simulation was interesting because it seems like a blend of Dope Wars game my group played in class, with the SIMS. The interface is similar to that of Dope Wars, where there are statistics that you have to keep track of as you make decisions. It is similar to the SIMS because you track and virtually experience the life of the person. You start with a baby being born, and are given circumstances throughout the character's life, and make your decisions according to your best judgment. The learning point of this game is for the players to experience what live would be life in other countries, given different situations. This could be a great eye-opener for students that have never experienced life outside of their own town or city.
