69. Moon Tycoon
It is the year 2021 and the Earth is having a major dilemna. No, it is not a new style of disco on the comeback trail. It is much more serious. The population of the Earth constantly requires huge amounts of energy to keep up with the technological obsessions we so much enjoy. In order to keep up with all of the energy demands, the only feasible solution has been to go to nuclear energy. With all of the nuclear production, there is a huge problem related to the disposal of waste.
Scientists conclude that the only solution to this emmense problem is to employ nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion requires a scare element called Helium 3, most abundantly found on the moon!
So here begins your adventure. You will be going to the moon to start mining Helium 3. Mining and building on the moon is more diffficult than on the Earth. There are no trees or supplies to work with and this creates a lot more cost. But, you are the moon Tycoon, so who cares about cost?
Just like on Earth, lack of planning for the future was a problem eventually... so it will be with you. Eventually, you are going to have to make money to continue this exciting game. You can start with the obvious, mining of Helium 3. Other options may be to start tourism as a viable industry. Shopping malls, at first will be the only available industry, but if you make the right moves, people will soon be golfing on the moon! This game is a great play for those who love games such as SimCity.
"A study of 33 laparoscopic surgeons found that those doctors who played Computer games were 27 percent faster at advanced surgical procedures and made 37 percent fewer errors compared to those who did not play Computer games (Gentile, 2008)"

"The big picture is that there are several dimensions on which Computer Games have effects; including the amount they are played, the content of each Game, what you have to pay attention to on the screen, and how you control the motions. Computer Games undeniably are but powerful Educational Tools and have many effects we might not have expected they could “(Gentile, 2008) ."

72. Baseball Mogul 2007
One of the deepest baseball simulations available
In Baseball Mogul 2007,
you assume the role of both General Manager and Manager for a Major
League team of your choice. You start on Opening Day of any year you
choose (from 1900-2006) with complete rosters and minor league
prospects.
In your role as Manager, you set the starting defense, batting order and pitching rotation for your team. You choose who stays in the big leagues, who gets sent down to the minors, and who gets released altogether.
As General Manager, you craft complex trades and sign multi-million dollar players, competing with artificially intelligent player agents and general managers. You also get to control all the finances of your team, from setting the price of a ticket to allocating funds to your farm system, scouts and medical staff.
Although you must successfully juggle the financial aspects of your team in order to succeed, your Mogul Rating is based entirely on your team's performance on the field. And unlike some baseball sims, you can switch to player mode and control individual pitches and batting choices if you want to get that detailed.
"Advanced Video Game skill and experience are significant predictors of suturing capabilities, the researchers found, even after controlling for sex, years of medical training and number of laparoscopic surgeries performed."

"If
doctors themselves say that Computer Games are indeed beneficial,
it is as well equally true for our young children. As early as 3
years old, our kids should be exposed in this kind of activity.
Parents should bear in mind that educational Computer Games for children are designed based on the rationale that Computer
Games can help with skills such as memorizing, remembering, inducing, deducing, recognizing patterns,
solving problems, and mapping"
