I will be teaching a course day tomorrow that is dedicated to games literacy and targetted to teachers. In addition to lectures, I will be putting emphasis on discussion and trying things out in practice. Most of my test game examples are coming from the games literacy site that we recently released:
But here are also direct links to certain games:
- PONG, a java version: http://www.xnet.se/javaTest/jPong/jPong.html
- Hitchhiker’s Guide to Galaxy: http://www.douglasadams.com/creations/infocomjava.html, plus the code: 851108
- Bookworm (a casual word game): http://www.popcap.com/games/free/bookworm?mid=bookworm_68_2_pcweb_en_2
- Sam & Max: Culture Shock demo: http://www.telltalegames.com/demo/cultureshock
- Sim City Classic: http://simcity.ea.com/play/simcity_classic.php
- Doom, Win95 v.: http://www.filewatcher.com/m/doom95.zip.4459049.0.0.html (the problem with standard PC classes is that they do not have any proper graphics cards in their PCs — I truly hope I can get this installed and running in those machines tomorrow… Some WinXP help here: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_play_Doom_on_Windows_XP)
