You have a funny defintion of this. BSE had all of this... but each
player's turn was processed separately. Big open-ended games in
general all use this. I can't imagine writing one that didn't use
this. When I say "simultaneous execution", I just mean that all the
turns are execuated simultaneously, in lockstep.

Dorky. The players can't choose to do other things instead of
studying.
