    You should wait until remote control planes and robot soldiers are available.

    In my day it was the game called 'Operation'. The really skilled surgeons like me carried extra batteries.

    There are decades old studies saying video games make for better fighter pilots too.

    I used to pull that out on Dad all the time, "I need quarters to go play Afterburner so I don't die in combat."

    Afterburner was the shit back in the day. Damn thing was like .75 or $1.00 locally per game but it was 'rad'.

    Video games help me on the bike that is for sure, and helps with my technical skills on the turntables. It really does help reaction time and hand/eye.

    Re: Video games make better surgeons?

    I can't find the video for it online, but last week I saw a guy on TV that was some car racing video game champion. Some company was stupid enough to let him drive a $250k WRX Rally car because of his fame and he ended up totaling it out.

    you mean the simulators are not accurate?
    I am not post whoring, I am providing an abundance of useless opinion.

    The best fullsize arcade game was Ivan Stewart's stadium truck game. I'd have to search for the actual name of it...

    This was my favorite driving arcade game:

    The Killer List of Videogames> - Death Race

    I've only seen one of them, they're pretty rare.
