  The Continuous World of Dungeon Siege   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The continuous world for Dungeon Siege consists of three main software components: the terrain system which is the world itself, the game object system which is the interactive logic (the “action”), and the world streamer which does the continuous loading.
The game design does not require the up vector to ever change, and although great vertical distances are required by the game for mood and other aesthetic purposes, most parts of the interactive game experience can be engineered as if it were all in an old-fashioned 2D tile engine, conveniently ignoring the vertical dimension.
Every object in the game had a lodfi range that would determine whether or not it was a candidate for skipping during the load process, and we did a few passes through the templates in the content database to set lodfi ranges on decorations and such.

 Evolution Designers' Notes
But the fundament of every game is decision-making--presenting a player with a situation, and requiring him to decide what to do and how to solve the problems he faces as he struggles toward a win.
Ergo, we need a game in which evolution is planned by the players, and in which they can determine when and how their creatures feed.
A game like Evolution is a constant balancing act: of course, we want to represent the creatures in the game and the nature of evolution as accurately as possible.

 Continuous game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The term is most often used to describe video games, which as of the late 1990s were almost all real-time, the shift being driven by the rapid increase in the power of personal computers.
There are however a number of board games and card games that are continuous, partially in reaction to the format's popularity in video games.
Examples of some continuous games are the video games Command and Conquer, Red Alert, StarCraft, and Age of Empires, the card game Falling, and the board game Icehouse.

 Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Tides Of War - GameCritics.com
World War II buffs may be interested in the game, as it is one of the first to use the Nazi occult connection as a plot point.
The most obvious explanation for the genre's continuing popularity is that gamers seem to love action, and the most obvious place to look for action is during a war.
Even if the game suffers from problems, they can be overlooked when considering that the game succeeds at what it sets out to accomplish.

 1602 A.D. for PC Review - PC 1602 A.D. Review
Continuous play is the familiar, open-ended mode in which you start with a ship, settle an island, and subsequently develop your colony through various stages to a thriving 18th-century metropolis while protecting yourself from marauding pirates and overly aggressive neighbors.
The familiar opening game gives the continuous-play mode of 1602 A.D. a sameness that doesn't appear in the scenarios, which place you in a wide variety of situations each with a definite goal to be achieved.
While there are military units in the game, combat is not the focus of 1602 A.D. Because it is so difficult to invade and conquer a well-prepared neighbor, military strength becomes a way of ensuring a settlement's security rather than a means of threatening other players.

 Middle-Earth II Strategy. General Introduction.
Player's participation in the game is directly dependent on his avatar status - imprisoned avatar has little to no chances of influencing the game flow, and killed avatar has even worse prospects of doing such a thing.
Hence, the game time is advanced by the easy rule - if and when all events for current game day have been processed (ie players have been informed about the events and replied with their reaction and possibly new orders), then the GM advances game time to the next game day which has any events.
In short, while one player may have current game time of September 13 (because this is the date of the last event report he got), another player may be already on September 14 (perhaps this is the "common" game time, and former player just lags behind a little).

 Planet AvP: Articles: Press Any Key to Continue
The only game I own that features selectable missions is, of course, AvP so I've had a fair bit of experience with games that have no pause between the action.
Games with a continuous mission may only have one or two instances of this and they usually happen when the player gets into a plane or perhaps is knocked unconscious.
The game could be played as a continuous mission but instead of having unlimited saves the player could be given a certain amount between "check points" throughout the game.

 Review Body
Nine-ball is a standard nine-ball game, except all standard rules and moves are not observed, most notably no push shots or automatic game forfeiture after three consecutive fouls.
The game was reasonably stable; crashes were infrequent (only about two the entire time I played.) In this day and age, for an unpatched game, that’s quite impressive.
The game is only $19.99 and that also goes a long way towards “looking past” some of the omissions.

 VIKTORY II: A Fast-Paced Game of Strategy and Conquest
A key part of the game's combat was that the number of dice each player would roll wasn't determined by the number of units they had in the battle, but by the number of unit types they had in the battle.
The result in game play was a steady buildup, with minimal large battles, as each side saved up for an Armageddon battle at the end of the game, involving huge stacks of infantry finally battling it out either Eastern Europe or Karelia.
Game plans have to be developed over time as the map gradually gets revealed, and the way the map unfolds will completely alter how the game is played.

 Gaming Nexus
Thankfully, there are some games that come along and change the status quo, taking the admittedly tired genre and breathing in a bit of fresh air.
For Time of Defiance, however, “real time” means just that—once a game begins, that game continues for a predetermined amount of real-life time (usually 3-4 weeks), whether or not the players are sitting at the computer.
As the game begins, each player starts their meager little base on one of these islands, armed only with a handful of ships and a “quantum gate”.

No sneaky reading the rest of the story; you'll have to wait until the end of the game.

 1701 A.D. Review on PC
The Continuous game is the sandbox mode, but it is actually more similar to a campaign mode in the complexity and depth, even though it doesn’t feature a designated set of goals.
This is the where the meat of the game lies, rather than in the scenario mode, which isn’t nearly as engrossing or busy.
Normally, this would detract from the game as a whole, but the continuous mode is really a type of scenario mode that can be modified, and so the lack of a robust scenario mode isn’t felt as much as it might be.

 SSRN-Continuous versus Step-Level Public Good Games by Susanne Abele, Garold Stasser
Our point is that dilemma games with a provision point violate two important assumptions commonly held for public good games: a) there is always a conflict between the group's interest and the individual's interest; and b) an individual is always better off defecting.
A threshold dilemma game is a dilemma with a coordination game embedded in it.
We will propose that a public good game with a tilted S function provides a more appropriate model of real life dilemmas while fulfilling the defining properties of public good games.

 How The Washington State Lottery has ARTIFICIALLY increased the odds AGAINST winning at KENO!
That is, a game that is actually a CONTINUOUS, never-ending SERIES of games involving 20 numbers chosen at random from the 80 numbers available.
There were many games where five or six numbers came up in one column, there were even a few games where seven out of eight came up in a column and believe it or not, there was even one game where all eight numbers in one column showed up.
Obviously the WSL doesn't want keno players to be able to look at their keno game as a continuous series of games as it is at every other gambling venue.
