[edit] Are you serious?

Would get anyone's dander up if I added Serious game to the genre template? — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:01, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)

This was discussed and resolved elsewhere. Serious games are a type of game, not a genre. A serious game can be of almost any genre. — Frecklefoot | Talk 18:09, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Add city building and real time strategy

Oops I just added City building (e.g., SimCity, Caesar, Pharoah) and was about to add Real time strategy (e.g., Empire Earth, StarCraft) but thought I'd halt and check. Where should this template be used? -- Sitearm | Talk 05:13, 2005 August 13 (UTC)

[edit] Western and Eastern RPG

Should there be a division in Role-Playing genre based on national origin? The subgenres of role-playing video games are Western RPG and Eastern RPG. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 01:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Creation

I've searched a lot of articles and i've never found any article about computer games involving creating things, for example geneforge, you get to create creatures, and robot arena, where you get to create your very own robots. Can anyone create shuch an article?

I believe that these games (including Line rider) would fall under Simulation game. If you want to create an article about creation games register an account and find some good outside sources that make references to the game genera. —Dispenser 15:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
