Those are specifically D&D inspired (and officialy licensed) games. The real trick is to find a company who calls their own original material a "simulation of D&D".

A couple games to examine:

Ar Tonelico: This is nothing like normal D&D, really.

Soul Nomad & the World Eaters: A game advertising the players ability to break the games own rules, with stuff like items that let you increase your level by 1000 instantly, and all other manner of strange things.

Etrian Odyssey: This is a game that is very much like D&D, except the developer interviews talk about how they are trying to invoke the experience of playing old game like Rogue!

Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3: A dark RPG about a bunch of high school students who fight in a lost hour between midnight and 12:01, who shoot themselves in the head with a pistol so they can summon monsters to fight their foes.

Super Robot Taisen Original Generations: A compilation of original mechs, taken from games that are giant cross-over smashfests between classic Japanese Super Robot TV shows.

I could keep listing... I invite you to explain how all of these videogame RPGs are "simulations of D&D".

Whoa there nelly. Horrible example.

That is BOTH a RPG and a Simulation.

In fact it is the ONLY game on that website of that Genre.

Well the only PSP game anyways. Still only 3 THREE PS2 Games fit.

"Simulation RPG" is a Japanese term for what Americans call "Tactical RPGs" or "Strategic RPGs", which I think I mentioned above. It specifically refers to a videogame RPG which allows grid based strategic movement, like Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea. It is not the same thing at all as what you claim, and is just an artifact of wierd Japanese use of English words (a common phenomenon).

Sorry, try again.

Ironically, the word "Bishoujou" means that this is a porn game.

"Beautiful Girl" as best as I can find. Making this a Beautiful Girl Simulation. Or yeah, most likely (er definitly) a porn game.

It would be a hell of a trick, considering that doing so would be rolling out the red carpet for a lawsuit.

In this particular case I bow to your superior knowledge.

No, btw. Next time you try to tell me what I said, please quote me. I said that the Simpson's movie is a simulation of the Simpson's TV show. I said that the Simpson's Movie and the Simpson's TV show were both the Simpson's.

I miss him but I also miss many of the others who posted in this thread whose ID's I hardly ever see around here any more. Where'd they go, Circvs Maximvs?

I hope something can happen to bring many of them back. I'd like to see them around here again.
