A simulation video game describes a diverse super-category of video games, generally designed to closely simulate aspects of a real or fictional reality. A simulation game attempts to copy various activities from real life in the form of a game for various purposes such as training, analysis, or prediction. Usually there are no strictly defined goals in the game, with players instead allowed to freely control a character.〔"Simulations: A Handbook for Teachers and Trainers", by Ken Jones, 1995, ISBN 0-7494-1666-1, (p. 21 )〕 Well-known examples are war games, business games, and role play simulation. From three basic types of strategic, planning, and learning exercises: games, simulations, and case studies, a number of hybrids may be considered, including simulation games that are used as case studies.〔Danny Saunders, Jacqui Severn, "Simulation and Games for Strategy and Policy Planning", (p. 20 )〕 Comparisons of the merits of simulation games versus other teaching techniques have been carried out by many researchers and a number of comprehensive reviews have been published.〔"Games and Simulations to Enhance Quality Learning", 1996, ISBN 0-7494-1866-4, (p. 50 )〕 ==History== While many credit simulation games beginning with Will Wright and SimCity in 1989, the true progenitor of the genre was "Fortune Builder", released in 1984 on Colecovision.〔http://www.colecovisionzone.com/page/game/coleco/fortune_builder.html〕 Certain games such as SimLife and SimEarth were subsequently created and are capable of teaching players the basics of genetics and global ecosystems. In a study where adolescents played SimCity 2000, the study found that those participants who played the game had a greater appreciation and expectation of their government officials after playing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simulation video game」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
