Two approaches are described with their philosophic implications: building a model as preliminary to simulation game design, and discovering a model after the game has been developed. A third alternative presented attempts to span the chasm created by the first two and integrate both design processes. (VT)

Review of the Community Land Use Game (CLUG). (RT)

Offers suggestions based on personal experience for designing large-scale training games and discusses problems related to game users, development, and computers. Seven references are appended. (LLS)

Presents nine steps for game design, and discusses why particular formats were used in the design of five games: CONRAIL Railroad Deregulation, Montauk Exercise, Geothermal Energy, Simulated Nutrition System, and Human Settlement. (CMV)

Presents a nine-step process for designing simulation games for use by real-world clients in actual policymaking situations. For example, this design model could be used to produce a game for railroad company executives needing to explore the probable impact of railroad deregulation on its operation. (LLS)

This paper discusses some of the problems of evaluating educational games and simulations, and illustrates them with examples taken from the author's experiences with an economic policy game. (VT)

Describes the basis for a simulation game classification based on the game image, which is created against a foundation of events that occur during the course of the game. Three characteristics of the game image--reflection of reality, dialog, and motivation--are defined, and game dialog types are discussed in detail. (MBR)

This article reports on a selected number of the findings which resulted from a game-building experience of a gaming project. (MM)
