Besides reviewing the historicity of games, I’m especially interested in how gaming relies on and simulates historical thinking. Games as simulations let us re-experience and re-interpret the past. Since we can replay them, they give us a strong reasons to remember particular events in greater detail.

Not only am I interested in historical gaming, but also in the process you all are using to build a collaborative directory of games, since I’m working on a similar project to build a wiki focused on software that supports research.
