LOL Jackeill!!! :DDDDDD
When I was a little kid, I used to play Lego, these little dolls called Playmobil in Spain and car miniatures.
But mostly Lego. I never followed the instructions to construct whatever the box said the pieces were for, it was all improvisation. And also simulated football games with the pieces in which my favourite football team Real Sociedad always beated Real Madrid (my dad’s fav team :DDD).
Nowadays my fav toy is my videocamera.

It ain’t the same with videogames. It’s just not the same. And I love many videogames, I know what I’m talking about.
The problem with videogames is that they leave no room for imagination, it all becomes visualization. It’s a kind of interactive visualization, I would say. With toys you had to imagine nearly everything, it’s quite deeper than a first-person shooter. With Lego you had to imagine even the toy, and then imagine the situations. With videogames you have to react, period. I don’t think they deserve to be called toys.
In the times of EA Sports and massive merchandising, the mental process that placed me in the situation of a World Cup final playing with a Coke can, imagining I was Basque Country’s national team top scorer and scoring the goal of the victory in the last minute, it is very different from what most kids experience when playing a videogame (as for imagination, take this: The Basque Country has never had an internationally acknowledged national team, and so is not in any videogame either :DDD).

The definition of the verb “to toy” is the following:
“to act or deal with something lightly or without vigor or purpose”. In relation to it, just found this on Wikipedia:
“As a rule, if something game-like lacks an explicit end state, it is a toy, not a game.”
So most computer games can not be qualified as toys, only certain games that have no purpose can (as SimCity, the Flight Simulator or The Sims). The rest all have some purpose and thus is not a toy, but a game.
