Opening this chapter are examples of dutch design, taken from the book False Flat, with the somewhat arrogant subtitle why is dutch design so good?. It is often noted that dutch design is original, functional and free from false traditionalism. Well, judge for yourself.

The screenshots from the various games are included as a preparation for chapter 9, where we discuss realism and immersion in games, and also because multiplayer games like Unreal Tournament have all the functionality a serious application would ever need.
