No, in this regards I had no problem with it. As a simulation
it felt no more limited than, say, a one-game room, or a game with
no inventory, or a game with no NPCs (er, three separate games,
not all three at once).  I'm not really sure just how limited the
simulation was, since I didn't try to fight it, though.
