Download or read book Digital Games as History written by Adam Chapman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first in-depth exploration of video games as history. Chapman puts forth five basic categories of analysis for understanding historical video games: simulation and epistemology, time, space, narrative, and affordance. Through these methods of analysis he explores what these games uniquely offer as a new form of history and how they produce representations of the past. By taking an inter-disciplinary and accessible approach the book provides a specific and firm first foundation upon which to build further examination of the potential of video games as a historical form.
