This system dynamics community has been active in developing model-supported cases studies, gaming simulations and management flight simulator for use in learning laboratories and student workshops. As multimedia environments are being introduced, system dynamics based learning tools are beginning to look increasingly like many commercially developed games. Developments within the commercial video game markets, including new mass storage media (CD-I, CD-ROM) and multimedia technologies have resulted in a host of new business and policy related games and simulations becoming available. In this paper, we examine the possibilities for using commercially available games in a system dynamics context. We demonstrate those opportunities through an example, SimCity, a well-known commercial strategy game. How can the system dynamics community contribute to these new exciting developments in the area of commercial edutainment products? How can we make use of the current interest in strategy games to get more people introduced to system dynamics?
