I will present results from numerical simulations of the formation of disk galaxies in a Lambda CDM context. A realistic description of the effects of feedback coupled to sufficient resolution are the necessary ingredients to form galaxies that have many characteristics of the real ones over a significant range of galaxy masses. Artificial images resembling SDSS frames will be presented... and the audience will be invited to guess the real galaxies from the simulated models.
