     When I was playing the game "Climate Challenge" on Globalorias "playing to learn" section, I found myself playing it over and over until I got the result I wanted. In the game, the player is the president of the united nations and He or She must save the planet from killing its self with co2 emissions. While trying to maintain a low level of co2 emissions, the player must also make sure there is enough water, electricity, food, and money to continue life on earth. This game, in the " Simulation" genre inspires me to want to learn more about it.
