Prehistory (Loosely before modern language and the like was conceieved.) (above link can be used as reference of new games to add to this list, also notice how close this section of the wiki appeared and when this article was done, strange isn't it?) Actually, I had no idea this existed when I made this (though it would have helped a lot.). Storybook games such as Aladdin and Sonic & the Secret Rings are questionable, mostly because of their heavily altered, but still somewhat relevant, roots, but adding Sonic and the Black Knight is just silly.Ī comparison of game vs their mythical based roots has been done by GamesRadar: for those who'd like to see just how bad/good the games do with the material. LotR is also kind of pushing it, but something like a good Beowulf game (If one existed) wouldn't be. So, no Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, or Zelda (Although several Zelda elements are based on myths). Oregon Trail, while slightly exaggerated, is quite relevant to Historical events. Glory of Heracles III, despite not following any one myth, but still has ancient Greece, the gods, and so forth, IS Mythical. Example: Shiva as a motorcycle is NOT relevant in either way. The more a game has ACTUAL elements from history OR myth and legends, the better. It was my original intention for that anyway, but I had second guesses. Why not just "Mythical" or "Historical" Games? Įither one is too fucking restricting and doesn't allow for a lot of good games that would be in the other, but little to do with myth. They'll often consider playing them, or at least find them interesting. You might consider showing some of these games to your instructors. This is just a way to blow off steam, while often being a historical badass. So don't expect to play these and pass your next history exam.
Note: Most of these games are altered from their original stories. So in an effort to seem educated, here's some games based on mythology, legends, or olden stories. 7 Steampunks, the Wild West, and the rise of the Japanese Westernization (loosely 1800-1900 (up to 1912-ish at the latest))įor most of us, it's back to College time (or has been in January, rather).6 Good Medieval Knights, the Age of Discovery, and the Samurais-ing Sun (loosely 500 to 1799 A.D./B.C.E.).5 The historical era of Myth and Legend (loosely before 500 A.D./B.C.E.).4 Prehistory (Loosely before modern language and the like was conceieved.).2 Why not just "Mythical" or "Historical" Games?.
