27. WildFire
You have seen the destruction on the news. Acres upon acres destroyed in blazing fires. Homes lost, lives ruined, and people put into panic fear. Like war, the threat of fire is something we all face at some level. Taking a realistic approch to this danger, Global Star software has created a game which will help you live and experience what the professionals have to deal with.
You will have a limited number of men and a fire to contain with all of the natural uncertainties. Wind, weather, and lightning are just some of the threats. You will have to manage where the retardant is dropped, where the men are stationed and when to use bulldozers. This is a menacing enemy and it is time for you to see the complexity of fighting this natural beast is.
Of course the advantage you will have over the heroes who are fighting the fires is you can choose to fight or go to bed. They don't get that choice, but after playing this game you may not feel like you really have a choice either. In this intoxicatingly addicting strategy game you will have many late nights fighting these fires.
"The big picture is that there are several dimensions on which Computer Games have effects; including the amount they are played, the content of each Game, what you have to pay attention to on the screen, and how you control the motions. Computer Games undeniably are but powerful Educational Tools and have many effects we might not have expected they could “(Gentile, 2008) ."

Games can help with skills such as memorizing, remembering, inducing, deducing, recognizing patterns,
solving problems, and mapping"
