History of Games: From Dice to Computers

I have created a presentation on the History of Games. It was first presented at a defense simulation & gaming conference so has definite bias in that direction. But the long-term goal is to pull together a sahred resource that many people can use in education.

You will find the PowerPoint on SlideShare.net and are welcome to use it for your own non-commercial uses. If you make significant additions, please send them to me so I can incorporate them into the briefing for other people as well.

  2. Really interesting and very detailed, thanks for sharing this.

    You might like to take a look at this blog post and video that found. Its really informative and covers the gap between games education and games entertainment. I've used the video in a number of presentations.
