Unlike many existing books and websites that cover some of the same material, this book emphasises critical analysis, especially the analysis of narrative. The author analyses narrative via an original categorisation of story forms in games. He also discusses video games as works of science fiction, including their characteristic themes and the links between them and other forms of science fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDelve into a Collection of Science Fiction Games\u003c\/em\u003e The beginning chapters explore game design and the history of science-fictional video games. The majority of the text deals with individual science-fictional games and the histories and natures of their various forms, such as the puzzle-based adventure and the more exploratory and immediate computer role-playing game (RPG).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607543202028,"sku":"9781482203882","price":111.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781482203882-science-fiction-video-games.jpg?v=1778170724","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/science-fiction-video-games-by-neal-roger-tringham-9781482203882","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
