Funny sidenote: the paper mentions a game titled Age of Ornithology under 5.1.g (Scope). Naturally I got excited at the idea of a game where you play some kind of bird collector, or an intrepid late 19th-century magnifying-glass-and-butterfly-net explorer and cataloguer of birds.
But unfortunately this title is some kind of cruel joke:

- stepvhen 10y agoI have a feeling this, and the rest of the games made by "Schadenfreude Interactive" aren't real, as much as I would love to play Grand Theft Ottoman or Accordion Hero, or Nazgul Thunder. Hannibal Crossing looks particularly enjoyable.
