Is there any science games out there?

[Second Hand Rocket Science]

Hey y'all,

So last time I was here, I was proposing science and research as a game concept. Well, I'm back to see if anyone has tried this before. If they have, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me where to get the game! I really want an interactive laboratory game where I can perform experiments, use microscopes etc. And a game where I can build my own laboratory would be even better!

I don't want any shoot-em-up's, puzzle games or Doctor Frankenstein wannabes. I just want straightforward "Here's a laboratory, here's some scientists, go bananas!"

Anyone here know anything that could help me?

I think there may be a misunderstanding about what "science" is, and such things as engineering or exploration, which strictly spoken are different things though they work hand in hand.

If you're actually serious about this and you're feeling at a very early state of learning things, then I would suggest to search "gamification", there was a time when even serious people thought a game like approach would help. I don't know, I personally think that gamification is just piffle, procrastination, an excuse not to actually learn.

Anyway, whatever science you pick, social, cultural, natural, applied, whatever, you need math. Math is the language of science and everything that depends on it.
