“These critics and, unfortunately, most video game players have a basic misunderstanding about the nature of games. They believe that the purpose of a game is to imitate something in life. They think the more realism the game has, the closer it will come to imitating life, and the better the game will be. They are simply wrong about this.” Robert Abbott [Check out Robert’s free online maze game, “Theseus and the Minotaur“] —Video Games are Incredibly Stupid! (logicmazes.com)
