Yeah, sims/games set in a Korean/Vietnam/Cold War setting are few and far inbetween ... I only know one Flightsim with a Korean War setting and the number of games in the vietnam war setting isn't that high either (at least sim wise - there are a number of FPS games out and about). As far as cold war goes, the only game that comes right to mind would be "Panzers - Cold War" but that unfortunatly hasn't even been released yet. Aside from that, while I'm sure there are one or more games around for that setting I would say that you are right on the spot ... Game/Sim Developers just concentrate on everything else (preferably WW2) opposed to anything that happend between 1950 and 1990 (give or take 5 years on each end).

I'm not sure whats the reason for this ... if I had to hazard a guess I would say that WW2 was the last truly "moral justified" war plus its very well documented and whatever game you wanna make you will find a place for it within the WW2 setting (from FPS to RTS and everything in between and beyond).
