Well, if you ever got tired of doin’ all the clickin’ and pressin’ on them video games, there’s somethin’ called “games that play themselves,” and I tell ya, it’s somethin’ real interestin’! These here games don’t need much from you at all—ain’t gotta be pressin’ buttons every second like them regular games. Instead, they run all by themselves. Just sit back, relax, and watch the AI do all the work. Let me tell ya about ’em!
Now, these games might sound a bit strange, but they sure got a charm to ’em. Take somethin’ like Despot’s Game for instance. You don’t do much in this game, other than watch a bunch of little robots fight each other. It’s kinda like watchin’ a battle unfold in front of your eyes, and you just sit back and enjoy the show. Ain’t no buttons to push or decisions to make—just watch ’em fight till the end. The AI runs the show, and all you gotta do is be entertained!
Another good example is Progress Quest. Now this one’s a bit of a throwback, but it’s the original game that plays itself. It’s like one of them RPGs, but ya don’t do much more than create a character and watch ’em level up. Don’t gotta press no buttons, ain’t no side quests to go on, just watch that little fella go on adventures all by themselves. It’s real simple, but somehow, it’s real fun too! You get all the thrill of an RPG without the hassle of doin’ anything.
And then there’s them cellular automaton games, like Conway’s Game of Life. Now, this one is real unique. It’s like a big ol’ grid of cells that follow simple rules—when you start it up, them cells start movin’ around all by themselves, growin’, changin’, disappearin’. Ain’t no player involved, just watch the cells take care of themselves. The game just keeps goin’ and goin’ based on how them cells was set up at the start. Pretty wild, ain’t it?
Some folks like these games ’cause they ain’t no pressure to do nothin’. You can just kick back, sip your tea, and watch things unfold. It’s almost like watchin’ a little show, but you’re in control of how it starts, and then the game does the rest. Ain’t that somethin’?
And while we’re at it, these games are a bit like them strategy games where you set things up and let it run. Like them games with bots or little countries or cells, like I said before. Set it up right, and you can just watch how the bots handle the world. Ain’t much for you to do other than sit back and see how things unfold. It’s a real good way to relax and not get too caught up in all the action.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ these games are for everyone. Some folks still want to press buttons and make all the decisions, and that’s fine too. But if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ easy and fun to watch, these self-playin’ games might just be the thing for you. You might be surprised how fun it is to watch AI do its thing.
So, if you ever feel like watchin’ somethin’ run all by itself without all that effort, give one of these games a try. They’re a whole different breed, and while you don’t have to do much, they sure can keep ya entertained. Ain’t that what games are all about anyway? Just havin’ a good time!
