Some games kind of blur the line between a game and too realistic. I remember buying a WW2 pilot game (Ace of air or something like that) and it had a 250 page manual with different sections on flying and air to air combat plus interactive training sessions. Also, a history on all of the airplanes used in the war, and the squadrons on both sides. (I got to fly as a Tuskegee airman!)This would be totally unheard of nowadays.
The closest thing to this is that $200 controller system that only works with that particular elaborate giant robot game. (Can't think of the name of the game.It came out about 5 years ago.)
