Wall Town Wonders feels like a casual game from the future, when all-day AR glasses are the norm, and you can manage your growing town of tiny Sim -like inhabitants as they fly around your room in hot air balloons and live out their tiny lives as you live out yours.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 provides players with a virtual reality recreation of Earth that offers a sense of unmatched realism. Despite initial launch setbacks, the game promises thrilling aviation adventures and limitless exploration. I'll never forget Christmas 1982. We had recently gotten our first computer, the IBM PC Jr, and I was desperately hoping that this new Flight Simulator game from a small and relatively new company called Microsoft was one of those ornately wrapped packages.
