Seymour Papert - Hard Fun

Vadim Gerasimov - Every Sign of Life (AFAIAC, about biofeedback and games), p.37

The emergence of addictive behavior described by Loftus and Loftus in their book Mind at Play: The Psychology of Video Games [83] has been confirmed by the evolution of computer games after the book was published.

For example, the latest simulation games, shoot-em- up games, and other addictive games all comply with these principles.
