“Sid Meier’s Civilization” and “SimGolf,” developed by Firaxis, and “Rise of Nations” by Big Huge Games, are among the best-selling titles in a world where virtual reality and simulation generate a seemingly unreal $10 billion in annual sales. Both Firaxis and Big Huge Games are headquartered in gaming-rich Hunt Valley and are among some 20 gaming-related companies that quietly have made Maryland the new frontier for gaming development."

"Local high school students who fantasize about getting a job playing video games might not be too far off the mark. Baltimore County boasts the largest concentration of video game and simulator technology firms on the East Coast, and local schools are working to put their students at the head of the line for employment in this emerging new field."

"We are working with the schools and with employers to make sure our students are prepared for the workplace of today and tomorrow," said County Executive Jim Smith. The county's Department of Economic Development is collaborating with industry insiders, schools, and state agencies to develop academic programs that prepare area students for employment in the county's burgeoning game and simulator development industry."
