Abstract

The article offers information on the video game "Who Wears the Crown: An Entire New Game" that was published between 1814 and 1818 by John and Edward Wallis. It mentions about the symbol of the King instead of the King himself, the Wallises give victory a metaphorical gloss; the player's goal should not be to become King, a radical suggestion but to get closer to his milieu.
