Difficulty: Impossible Learning Curve: About 2 and a half hours Stability: Microsoft Flight Simulator isn't really a game. Over a dozen years it's had five major version upgrades, ports to nearly every platform (and language) on the map, and cumulative sales that nudge the stratosphere of desktop productivity perennials.

Actually, before this latest release, a powerful mantra and finger cymbals were necessary to make the thing fly under Windows 95.
