This is a history of the evolution of games beginning with dice and proceeding to computer games. It was created for a military simulation and serious games audience, so has that specific bias. Because of the heavy use of graphics, it is a very large file - about 67MB. I am sharing it for others to use as an educational resource.

Editor's Notes
- This is just one history of games. It is distinctly focused on building a story that arrives at the emergence of serious games in the 1990’s and early 2000’s, and in particular their use in the military. The slides have been released publicly to serve as a resource for telling this story and for improving it by the contributions and reuse by many authors.
