The year this was created I only remember people really digging this.
It has aged well, as in it's as meaningless as it ever has been.
This started the vast use and abuse of the "simulator" genre into some of the worst attempts to sell buggy messes and some of the most actually good/rather fun things out there.
Still the first thing that craved the path for stuff that looks like constant asset flips to appear everywhere with the excuse of "funny!".
