Gaming Innovations
Hi. From time to time, I notice an interesting feature in a game (or any medium), and would like to learn about the history of the feature. For example, some games use a gas bottle rocket. Who was the first to show something like this?

There is an internet site dedicated to this topic, the Games Innovation Database. Sadly, it is not publically editable wiki-style (at least not any more, I think it used to be). Its front page states "235 entries". Compared to the number of effects and ideas that make up modern games, this appears to be a relatively small number. I assume that one of the reasons why the number is so small is that that database is not publicly editable.

Wiki Gaming looks like a good place to write about gameplay elements, Wiki-style. As an example, I have created the above-mentioned gas bottle rocket page. What do you think? --Lachnummer 16:32, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
