Additional material

On the lines of its influence, I think it may be worth mentioning the genre of educational sustainable environment games that have evolved from this. I know I've played 2 of them but I unfortunately can't remember the names for them. One was for the Acorn platform and one was a game made by the German government IIRC. Both have you as a supervisor for some island and you're in charge of choosing how much land you use for development (and whether the level is sustainable or not). Your decisions would affect how well the island does from year to year and you receive reports on its progress. --Rambutaan 03:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could smb find original FOCAL code of the game and the book "Looking at History through Mathematics" (1968) by N. Rashevsky? I'm looking for the basic model of the game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.45.133.194 (talk) 07:54, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Credit

The article lists Doug Dyment as the creator of the game and cites that Richard Merrill if often inaccurately attributed to the creation of the game. There is no citation or reference I can find for Doug Dynment as the creator. It's also not clear to me if Doug Dyment is being noted as the creator of The Sumer Game or this one? --Bsimser (talk) 19:37, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Implementations

Is it okay to just add new implementations like this one for the Android?

So that would mean we start adding every implementation of Hamurabi there is? Or only notable ones? What makes one worthy of inclusion so this doesn't become a list. There are half a dozen Android examples, almost as many on iOS and a few on other platforms. --Bsimser (talk) 04:00, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A list of architecutres for which there is no implementation would be useful, so someone could port it
