Simulation games for weak PCs
Simulation games allow gamers to take on an interesting but fairly simple role: an airplane pilot, a train driver, a bus driver, or even a farmer. Often these simulators require a lot of resources and new hardware, mainly due to the size of the game world, so many of them do not run on older PCs.
This list includes all simulators that will work normally on weak computers and laptops, regardless of the year of release and gameplay features.
