One Button Games Explored

It has some simple, fun Flash examples embedded in it and focuses on basic game theory in a way I've not seen before. It loses some punch towards the end but still provides a number of insights and some interesting ideas."

      You had a button to share? In my household, we had two wires, and we had to connect them by hand to play our video games. And every time we connected the wires, we recieved an electric shock, and we were happy.

    Back in my day, *all* games were one-button. And you had to share the button with the other players, because we couldn't afford enough buttons for everyone.
