Sometimes, even when playing in the giddily accelerating wonderland of digital entertainment, the best fun is that which we make for ourselves. So it is in Game Dev Tycoon, a business simulation by Green Heart Games, dealing with the history of videogames from the early 1980s through to the mid-2010s. You see, while the game does a great job of presenting thirty years of technological and social change – during which your garage-based hobbyist will rise to leadership of a big name, quintuple-A powerhouse – the real joy comes from cludging together weird combinations of genre and theme for prospective releases, and then coming up with extremely silly names for them.
