I just found a game called "Immune Attack" about obviously the immune system. I haven't played yet, but from what I can tell, players control a nanobot/artificial immune cell that is fighting off parasitic invaders. The Federation of American Scientist are working to push the development of more games. I also discovered that some hospitals have an E.R. game that prepares Doctors and Nurses for...you guessed it emergencies. I think this is a start, however I imagine that entities creating for profit are likely to consistently produce the better products.

As a science undergrad, I would like to see science-based video games. Though I appreciate being able to rotate computer animations for clarity, or placing electrons in their orbital, I have to imagine a video game that required the upkeep of biochemical/physiological systems would be more effective than rote memorization. I am sure that some of us remember the movie "Innerspace"; why not start young gamers on inner-body adventures based on real science. I hope this idea is already being pursued. It has been a dream of mine to author some anthropomorphic children's books about a whole range of biological topics. However, I hope in the not-so-distant-future parents will be telling there teenagers, "you can't go out with your friends until you pass the influenza level of 'Innerspace Invaders.'"
