I would pay $100 for this game. I don't play games because I have below average skill, dexterity, and coordination. Last game I played till finish was the first Splinter Cell game in 2002-2003. I hit save after every shot, movement, and action because I really suck at shooting targets, especially if they fire back at me or move. What I love are solo games where I can take my time, plan my course of action, and hit "go!" This game seems exactly what I want. Another example is one of the original variations of Desktop Tower Defense where you couldn't buy/sell equipment/weapons once you hit 'play'. I divide games into two types: frying or baking. The frying games are where you have to be active throughout the course of the game from start till finish and you have to race against time. There may be preparation beforehand but execution during the main act is critical and if you slow down, you get burnt veggies. The baking games are where preparation is the only thing that matters. There is no race-against time and if you prepare well, you're almost guaranteed to win. I prefer baking games.

A very similar game was released in 2006 called The Ship: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ship_(video_game) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ship_(video_game) You can even get it on steam today http://store.steampowered.com/app/2400/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/2400/

  Does anyone still play this? edit: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1023675&page=3 http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10236... This game is seriously awesome, yes the player count is low but you can find certain times where there's actually a full server. You can get this game for dirt cheap from places like Amazon.com merchants and such... I payed only $0.01 plus shipping for my copy... Bought a bunch more for my friends so we can all LAN party at least... $19.99 on Steam.

I know everyone is now going to be suggesting their favorite non-action game but this one is just too awesome not to :p I've just completed Machinarium (http://machinarium.net http://machinarium.net) and it's absolutely fantastic. It's a point&click like the old LucasArts games except it just gets it all so right, no insane puzzles where the only solution is to try everything on everything here, most can be solved using just the things on one screen. Add to that the amazing artwork, great soundtrack and the fact that you play a robot and it's the best game I've played in a long time. It's also available for Windows, OSX and Linux. Please buy it! I really want them to make more :)

Seems you would be more interested in the Rainbow 6 part of the Tom Clancy franchise. I've only played the original (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Clancys_Rainbow_Six_(video_game) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Clancys_Rainbow_Six_(video_... ) so i'm not sure if the sequels are similar, but in the first you could design the entire mission waypoints, literally hit "go!", and sit back and watch. You wouldn't have to take control of any of the men if you didn't need to (sometimes you have to because the AI would get stuck trying to climb a ladder, etc).

  The franchise has moved away from that, unfortunately. Although they are fantastic games in their own way.

In Gratuitous Space Battles (aka the best-named game ever) you plan out your strategy, hit play, and watch. I haven't actually played it yet, but it seems like a perfect "baking" style game for you. http://www.positech.co.uk/gratuitousspacebattles/ http://www.positech.co.uk/gratuitousspacebattles/

You got to give Deus Ex a try.

  Deus Ex (if you're not familiar with it) is a first person shooter with some RPG elements. One of the reasons it's so well-loved, even years after its release, is that within each area, the player can choose their own pace and method. You can play through the entire game without being seen, or without killing anyone, or pretty much any way you want. You should try it.
