Simulations can be an extremely useful training tool. High-quality simulations offer individuals an opportunity to attempt something that may be dangerous in real life with no risk. Some simulations, however, are primarily intended for fun. Medical simulation games offer players a chance to perform a wide variety of medically-oriented tasks, such as performing brain surgery.
