Aristotle in the Gameworld

A paper (very short) here (PDF)by Michael Mateas on the adaptation of (Neo-)Aristotelian dramatic theory to game design, proposing an "Aristotelian interactive poetics". It's a genuinely interesting little paper, but one thing I found somewhat humorous was the citation. The citations are in the (Author, Year) format; and so he cites Aristotle as (Aristotle, 330 BC).
