Developed for Professor of English History, John Ramsbottom, Ph.D., for use at the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana, the game/simulation recreate the experience of being a resident of London, England, during the years sixteen forty-four and sixteen eighty-four.
Players create a character, choose an occupation, and decide upon a residence in the city of London. Then they can get married, have children, change occupations, and make the decisions that would be available to an actual, historical character.
Historical events, and how they relate to living conditions, are displayed for the time period simulated by the game, providing an interactive learning experience for the player.
