Games are genre-derived or genre-related group activities that are intended to create a somewhat realistic experience of living through an adventure in an imagined world. Games were originally played using boards and counters of some sort but have evolved to highly elaborate sets of rules. They are sometimes played with figurines that represent individual characters and their (sometimes) magical powers. A relatively recent, and very successful, development in games has been the proliferation of computer-based games set in the worlds created in popular novels, movies, television shows and even earlier board games. Among popular types of games are Role-Playing Games, MMPORGs, fantasy games, science fiction games, and vampire and horror games.

Game Companies are the developers and manufacturers of games of all kinds. Game Conventions are special interest Conventions designed specifically to accommodate the interests of game-players. Game Designers are the people who conceive and execute the development of a game of any type. Game Types refers to different forms of games including board games, role-playing games, trading card games and the like.Themes are general subjects which combine elements and ideas from different disciplines, stories, and even from different media. Examples would be Women in the future or Aliens or Frankenstein's Monster.

In SCIFIPEDIA, Themes is a catch-all term intended to be used for articles that cover general ideas, particularly those that cross the standard categories.
