They are computer games...... that realistically produce images and
techniques that help learn and maintain aviation knowledge.

Back in '90 I had angioplasty that grounded me for 6 months, then a
quadruple bypass that stretched my grounding another 6 months.
Yeager's Air Combat and MS Flight Simulator kept my head in aviation to a
degree that when I finally got my medical back and went back to flying
Captain with AA, the transition was much easier than if I hadn't used my
"games".

The games don't really teach or maintain basic "stick and rudder" technique
but they do teach and maintain procedures and spatial awareness.
I have 2 new pilots starting tomorrow in the MD-88 flight simulator with
EFIS and FMS. Like my last 2 pilots they probably don't have any previous
jet or FMS experience. Their learning curve will be primarily procedures.
Hopefully they will already have the stick and rudder skills. And I DO
agree that only a full motion flight simulator can teach the "stick and
rudder" techniques.

" I was wondering if anyone in this NG play simulators?
If so, which one? What's the best out there, currently.

They are not really simulators. They are just computer games.
