Descripton: "Real Lives 2010 is a truly unique, content rich and empathy-building real world, real life simulation that challenges your life skills (not your hand-eye coordination) as you make difficult, high-stakes choices that lead to your success, or failure.

You might be able to marry the person of your dreams, and have a rewarding job, or you could be stuck in poverty. Be born, live an exciting life, and die. Then do it again. And again. Learn about the world as you live your Real Lives around the world, one life-altering decision at a time. Experience life as a: Peasant farmer in Bangladesh -- Factory worker in Brazil -- Policeman in Nigeria -- Lawyer in the United States -- [or] Computer operator in Poland."
