This text and poster examine our efforts to create a living resource in the form of a website that catalogues the physical world representations in videogames that simulate the local cultures of people and virtually reproduce culturally and historically specific locations, while claiming a certain level of factuality in either a past, contemporary or futuristic context. To better situate our product in scholarship of teaching and learning, we propose the mechanics of curated cultural-historical ludic exhibitions and affordances to better understand how power relations between developers and players operate within the medium, while considering the cultures being represented.
