The idea that I would be playing "Sim City" with real world data was what perked my interest in Geography / GIS as a freshman at the University of Washington. What kept me was how cool it was that you could make maps on a computer.

Lots and lots of maps.
Below is the map of the Horseshoe Curve Train Route with a viewshed analysis created for Train Simulator 2 planning. Using the points which make up the line representing the train route and a digital elevation model representing the terrain we can highlight the areas which are more visible from the railraod. This helps direct our efforts so we don't end up working on things that won't be visible!
