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.

Weird Air Jordan Game
by Ian Bogost February 24, 2005

Nike has created a weird game to promote their new Air Jordan XX. The game, hosted by Spike Lee, asks the player to answer questions about Jordan -- both the man and the shoes -- in the least amount of time. I'm usually very negative about quiz games but this one has a rather bizarre air to it (as it were), relying on abstract iconography for player interaction (thanks to Nico).
