Lunar Flight has the best parts of a hardcore simulation without the nerdiness. It's definitely a game, not a full sim, but that's a good thing. The learning curve is moderate to difficult but very rewarding. If you've played the old Lunar Lander arcade games you get the idea, but add a 3rd dimension and a variety of challenges and you have a fresh, unique experience. It's not just a sandbox; challenges reward you with experience and credits with which you can unlock upgrades and additional maps. Once you get the hang of it you will find yourself experimenting with different flying techniques and enjoying the ambiance and visuals as much as the gameplay mechanics. Strangely enough you don't necessarily need a joystick; I've been flying it exclusively with the keyboard, although a joystick may make it slightly easier. I highly recommend.
