@horus500 you make some very good points here. Essentially it’s all gaming and within every genre there are lots of flavours and hooks to get people in.

I think it’s our own interest that is the real barrier. I have always loved History, so much so that I did it as degree at university. I think that because many kids have not been taught it in an interesting way, they find it boring. Thus translate this to gaming they love playing sci fi and fantasy games on the computer and seeing the same things in the cinema and on TV do they can connect to the genres because they found it on their own and were not forced into it.
