9 things we never expected to see at Leipzig

Ports of Call 2008 Deluxe - a 3D ship sim

It's not everyday that you see a 3D ship simulator controlled by a homemade wheel, dials and pushy button set-up. But as much as we wanted to love it, the controls were sluggish at best and donning the 3D glasses made absolutely no difference, apart from making us feel a bit stupid for even thinking that looking at static, textureless rocks and the back of a square boat driving away from us in three awesome dimensions would even be worth the physical effort of putting the glasses on in the first place. It did have a fog horn, though.
