Gameology: Commentary and Resources for the Game Studies Community

That's the great question, isn't it? Most people think that games become obsolete with time, but others insist that "retro" games have enduring value. It's also true that many of the most self-consciously literary or artistic games (I'm thinking here of Roberta Williams' such efforts) are usually pretty ghastly compared to the more popular games.

I do remember playing a game based on the Three Musketeers on my Commodore Amiga way back in the early 1990s. Here's a link to some info about it. As a youth, this game really made a huge impression on me, and I went out and read all the novels after playing this thoroughly immersive game. Would I play it today? Perhaps.
