In this paper the author analyzes the phenomenon of prototype worlds – synthetic environments of simulators, video games and other types of software – used to conduct experiments at the level of user sensorium, environmental physics and social design. The author presents the evolution of the concept, beginning with Buckminister Fuller’s World Game project, moving through media experiments in the field of game design, and finally presenting contemporary applications (such as a drone pilot training project for the U.S. Air Force) and their implications.

"Nuclear Gandhi" is a surprising and controversial image of an Indian leader - Mahatma Gandhi. Often portrayed against the backdrop of nuclear explosions, his poses and styles clearly are suggesting awe and admiration for the ongoing mass destruction. This image is related to Sid Meier’s Civilization VI – one of the most influential video games in the history of gaming. The aim of the article is to analyse this particular case study and consider processes from many different angles that led to the emergence of this controversial phenomenon. To do so, the notion of archiverse is introduced - an assemblage (after Jane Bennett) of all cultural, political, economic and technological archives performed by the user. By following the connections between different, often seemingly distant data and contexts, it is possible to propose an archive-centric perspective on video game study.
