Summary/Abstract: Maryl frames the articles collected in this volume as examples of how the tools of literary studies can be applied to game analysis. While Polish Game Studies are aspiring for recognition as a field, the key issue is to make the general public aware that games (especially computer games) are not just fully fledged cultural texts worth exploring, but that they have also become an important way to participate in culture. This form of participation, Maryl suggests, will soon be crucial for understanding modern society.
