It's all fun and games until somebody wrecks the climate

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. War Games, 1983. Matthew Broderick was so young! Also, this one movie set the tone for a couple of generations’ worth of discussions of both computer games and nuclear war.
  2. Modern manifestation of the idea of playing nuclear annihilation.
  3. Yes, chess is a strategy game. The original RTS, even.
  4. A climate-damaged Earth is a catalyst for the next iteration of CIVILIZATION: JUST ONE MORE TURN
  5. How could a game so depressing be so much fun?
  6. Other options include geoengineering. Hint: you probably won’t win.
  7. Yay improving simulation resolution!
  8. BRING THIS BACK!
  9. Down at the ARG with Jane McG. Alternate Reality Games are super freaky.
  10. Done by Australian Broadcasting Company, BLUEBIRD was an ARG about geoengineering. Actually quite good.
  11. Kriegspiel, the original wargame. LOL noob.
  12. Doesn’t exist any longer; the Republican House of Representatives shut it down.
  13. “World Targets in Megadeaths” – I have that on Kindle.
  14. Yes, okay. I’ll play.
