This paper presents an analysis of game simulators as educational tools for developing algorithmic thinking skills in computer science education. As computational becomes increasingly important modern education, innovative approaches to teaching programming and concepts are essential. Game offer engaging interactive alternative traditional methods, particularly - a fundamental skill science. Through synthesis current research pedagogical theories, this examines various including Blockly Games, Rabbids Coding, Kodu Lab, 7 Billion Humans, Minecraft Education Edition. We analyze their features, implementation strategies, effectiveness different contexts while providing theoretical framework connecting gamification principles with psychology. The also addresses practical challenges suggests directions future research. Our findings indicate that simulators, when effectively integrated into curricula, can significantly enhance student engagement, motivation, across levels.
