List of Games and Sims mentioned in the book

This list contains references to the software programs and applications mentioned in the book. Each game, simulation and software application mentioned in the book will be listed here. The format will be similar to a reference list, but games, sims, and software are often difficult to list using standard citation styles. Wherever possible, the year of publication/release is included. In the case of some game series as well as with software languages and tools a range of years is listed, including the original release. Most will include a URL (game website, software developer’s site, etc.). They are separate to make it easier for readers to look them up, and because they are usually referenced in a different context from the books and other publications. This list includes programming languages as well as applications because there can be a very fine line between a true programming language, an add-on and a distinct tool.
