All Strategy and Simulation Games

This group collects the Interactive and Networked Media Landmarks subcategory's members whose own description names them a real-time or turn-based strategy game, a city-building, life-simulation or social-simulation game, spanning Civilization, StarCraft, Age of Empires and Warcraft: Orcs and Humans alongside SimCity, The Sims, Animal Crossing, FarmVille, Populous and the educational simulation The Oregon Trail. It is kept apart from this subcategory's Puzzle and Casual Games group by its members' emphasis on resource management and system-building over short-session mechanical challenge.
