Games With Social Impact Catalogued

Thanks to Terranova for pointing out the Social Impact Games site, whose goal is "to catalog the growing number of video and computer games whose primary purpose is something other than to entertain." Among the weird and wonderful entries are Straight Shooter, "A first person shooter game in which marketers hunt for clients in cities, airports and hotels around the world [and shoot 'idea' projectiles at them]", Sim Health, a little known Maxis-developed project that "...was designed to inform the debate in the summer of 1994 over what kind of health care system the United States should have", and God Speed 3D, which "puts you on a wild roller coaster ride... [as] you listen to [biblical] lesson questions."
