Science games



Here are some games that, for the most part, focus on scientific things, and such fairly realistically. This is by no means a complete, list, only what has been able to be dug up as of right now. Additions are welcome and encouraged, as long as you follow a few basic rules:

1) The game should follow some sort of real-life science for the most part. Pokemon Evolution is a no-go. Darwin's evolution is great!

2) If the game is made to be educational it should also be fun. We're here for fun! If the game is boring and/or badly made it's still not worth it.

3) If it is a science fiction game it should be grounded in science for the period it was created in. Firefly is a science fiction series with no aliens, no teleportation, and no un-realistic technology from a 2000's standpoint. A game set in Firefly's universe would be fine here. Star Wars with it's lazer swords, magical powers ("jedi"), and many alien races would not be allowed here.
