Almost every single video game made throughout the history of the gaming industry can be considered a simulation game since what is taking place on the screen is not reality. However, for the sole purpose of this article we are going to discuss the top 5 simulation video games of all-time but not consider every single game to be in the simulation category. Instead, in this article we consider a video game to fall into the category of simulation if it includes actual simulation features or has the word simulation, in one form or another, in its title. So, without further adieu, the top 5 simulation video games of all-time:
#5: Flight Simulator: This game was published and released by the company Microsoft for the personal computer. This franchise of games has been running for 25 years now and is the longest running franchise, predating Windows. The series first began as a group of articles about computer graphics and soon grew into the most popular series of flight simulator games on the market today. The games allow players to fly all types of planes including fighter jets, passenger aircraft, helicopters, Cessna and many others.
#4: Gran Turismo: Gran Turismo has become the golden standard for racing simulation video games on the market today. It was one of the first racing series to be introduced to PlayStation when the system by Sony was first released and has grown into a multi-billion dollar money maker. Since its introduction in 1997, there have been over 50 million units of the series sold in stores and on the Internet. The game allows the gamer to drive a large selection of vehicles that are lifelike reproductions of real vehicles around the world.
