We've had TX-1 at our school arcadium for at least two months now. I've heard
rumors that we are one of the test sites for video games. I've played it
and it is *rather* decent. They charged $0.75 here for it, but it was worth
it (in my opinion).
The main thing I liked about it was the realism. Although far from perfect,
it is probably the closest to emulating a real-life environment with the
exception of the professional simulators that they use to train pilots. The
fact that it is publicly available is its main advantage over the professional
machines.
