Some of my first games were sims of one sort or another. Mostly helo and sub sims. While flight simulators (and shoot 'em ups and RTSs) require good reflexes and quick action, sub sims are a thinking man's game. Not that you don't have to make quick decisions, mind you, it's just a different kind of process. I enjoy the thrill of the chase and even the frustration of the SNAFUs. And, not least of all, by any means, the comraderie of the folks that tend to gravitate to sub sims is a major factor.
