Like what? A first person shooter/ - try combat or paintball. Fighting game? Get in a fight. Sports? Play sports! Mystery? Detective work, mystery dinners. RPG? Dungeons and Dragons tabletop, magic. Flight simulator- actually flying.

Video games are simulators of things in real life that are taken to extremes because death in the real world is permanent. They do impossible things - like fight aliens - but you can definitely fight using weapons (even airsoft or nerfed counts) in contrived situations in the real world. Imagine a cast of actors and you fight them with an airsoft rifle. No computer needed.
