Gaming.... the GIS way...

Picture it... you're not just playing the game - you are IN it. You ARE it. How awesome is that?! Could it be the ultimate gaming experience? Well... not sure about that... but I'm sure you can still be pwnd :P

Here are just a few interesting examples.... :)

  • Oldie but a goodie... Test your geography with Geosense!


A peaceful area where you can gather resources for your futher exploration. Your first encounter with the creatures down in the mines. Talk to the inhabitants of the world. Some are good and some are evil.

Get started with Virtualpunk!

Grab your GPS phone and get out of the house! Create an account and start moving around - you'll discover a whole new dimension to reality. A reality filled with new an exciting possibilities. Meet all the in game characters and try to figure out what they want. Or fight your way to the more difficult parts of the game world. Parts that you have to unlock to be able to access. But as with all adventurers you might want to get some decent armor, shield and weapon before you go too far... Prepare yourself for a totally new outdoor experience on your way to work, school or while you just are out walking.
See you in game!




And so many more besides... Have a look at WikiGIS - Location-based gaming to get you started :)

Maya out!
