Inthis paper a brief history of computer games ispresented as a starting point for developing atopology of games and a theory of computergames as rhetorical artifacts suitable forcritical study. The paper addresses thequestion of why games should be treatedseriously and suggests a theoretical approachbased on Bakhtin's poetics of the novel wherethe experience of time and space (thechronotope) provides a framework of questionsfor discussing computer games.
