More Reviews Coming Soon!

I'm sorry about not posting lately, to put it mildly, all heck has broken loose in my life. I do have several reviews in the works. (And even was invited to review a game! Yeah me!) Also starting up another blog which I will introduce soon for more of my personal life as I learn to be a truck driver! So don't give up hope, more reviews are coming.

However I'm interested in what YOU think! (Yes you, stop looking around! He he he). What do you look for in a good horse/dog/cat/emu sim game? Do you like a points based system with titles to earn, horse of the month/year, games that don't do points/titles. What aging systems do you like; year/year, year/month, year/quarter? Any other requests/ideas for sim game owners/creators/admin that you have?

I ask as I know that myself and many others have sim horse games (I'm working on my original one to bring it back, ETA sometime this summer. For those interested in seeing the rough draft it is: Fly Away Sim Game.

It is still a work in progress, need to organize everything better, need to finish the forums, etc. So might as well put it out there, any horse sim game owners out there who would be interested in an inter-sim olympics? (First thought of the idea in 1997 but had no other horse sim game to coordinate with.) Of course there's always the idea of having an intra-sim olympics (between boarding stables, regions on your game, etc).

Horse racing is an important point in most horse sim games, how many games have something like a Breeders Cup, Triple Crown/Tierra, and/or Eclipse Awards? What breeds are allowed to race? When are horses encouraged to retire from the racetrack? When are 2 year olds allowed to race, are 2 year olds allowed to race? Is there steeplechasing and/or endurance racing in the game?

Anything I haven't thought of? This is your platform to speak up!
