Water Cooler Games

Water Cooler Games served as the web's primary forum for "videogames with an agenda" — coverage of the uses of video games in advertising, politics, education, and other everyday activities, outside the sphere of entertainment.

The site was maintained at watercoolergames.org from 2003-2009, where it was edited by myself and Gonzalo Frasca. It is now archived here in full.

MADRID

by Gonzalo Frasca March 13, 2004

categories: Newsgames , Political Games

Here is MADRID, the new game that I just finished to put together along with the Newsgaming.com team. It was developed in just over a day and looks to be a simple homage to the victims of the attacks from 2 days ago.

Clarification (from Ian): There seems to be some confusion about credits on this game. To set the record straight, MADRID was developed by Gonzalo and his talented Newsgaming team. While he let me see some late betas and do a bit of play testing, those guys should get all the credit. -- ib

This is a very smart and touching game. It is simple but I found it really puts across a message.
