Note:
The computer game as fictional form: the postmodern temptation; reading game-fictions. Fantastically real - reading "Tomb Raider": Lara Croft - Action hero; "Tomb Raider" as quest narrative; beating the system. Gritty realism - reading "Half-Life": Welcome to Black Mesa; I am a camera. Replaying history - reading "Close Combat": history in real-time; counterfactual gameplay. Managing the real - reading "SimCity": The many worlds of "SimCity"; "SimCity" limits; more than a game?; realism is dead, long live realism; the shape of things to come; the computer game as fictional form revisited. Glossary of specific game terms.
