Programmable 16-bit CPUs? Sounds like work disguised as gaming!

  Aren't all MMOs like that?

    Yes, but most MMOs simulate minimum wage busywork this one involves some actual skill/thinking.

      So true, I played WoW for about a month when it came out then I thought: "Didn't I get into to programming because I didn't want to work at UPS delivering packages?" It should have been called World of Errands.

        It's better since Cataclysm, the errands are more directly, visually, and emotionally tied to saving the world (of Warcraft.) Anyone who once thought they liked the game's single player questing aspects should spend a week with a free scroll of ressurection and experience what the game has become, because it's really awesome and fun.

  EVE Online has been affectionately called "Spreadsheets in Spaaaace!"

  More like a massively multiplayer programming competition. I'm doomed.

  Sounds like a game you can disguise as work!
