Spatiality of computer games is one of the most important features that affect the way they are received by the players. That is why it becomes a common subject of discussion among researchers involved in analyzing the properties of the medium. In this essay I will describe some aspects that may affect the player’s experience of being in an interactive environment. I will consider if it is possible to find joy in navigation through open world games and try to answer the question of whether the definition of flâneur can be applied to characterize the role of the player focused on strolling along the game world.

The aim of the article is to discuss the challenges of computer games preservation as a cultural heritage, focusing on the Polish perspective. Computer games are predominantly perceived as ‘new media’, despite the fact that their history dates back to the mid-20th century. It is important to understand that not only the early computer games are already ‘old media’ but all the digital games are. They may be perceived as ‘dying media’ vulnerable to unprecedented obsolescence. The article explores the consequences of digital decay and the notion of original experience in the context of conservation strategies. It suggests that there is still a need for a more conscious inclusion of computer games within the agenda of the Polish heritage institutions.

The author tries to examine the reasons for the popularity of the Western film convention manifested by the game "Call of Juarez". It seems surprising because Western – once a popular genre – currently seems to be almost extinct. The key to the investigation of "Call of Juarez" appears to be the analysis of the intertextual references and the remediation of the Western convention. In order to explain the popularity of Western themed games, the author argues that the reasons responsible for the death of Western were mainly economic and not as it was previously considered – sociological.

This paper examines the phenomenon of survival horror games. It focuses on “yūrei”, a Japanese mythological supernatural being. “Yūrei” returns to the world of the living to take revenge on the people who harmed them in the past. The paper also concentrates on the remediation of “yūrei” iconography from literature and Japanese ghost movies into games. It analyses the characteristics of the survival horror genre, dividing them into the ludic and semantic systems. It also describes the relationships between traditional Japanese legends and modern texts, and presents an important issue of the main character (usually schematic and doomed to failure). Observations are based mainly on two games: “Calling” for Nintendo Wii and “Kuon” for PlayStation 2.
