This thread is not about people playing video games in Sumer.
Rather, I wanted to see if there were video games that were about Sumer. I understand that this may not be a serious subject to some, but in another way, i think that documentaries, fictional movies, and even video games help in a way to bring back to life the culture or virtual environment of the times and place. Are there any you may know of?
I found:
Sumer
It is considered a "digital board game" where you collect supplies to grow an empire.
