The location for the underground office of the game company in "Halting State":

[Edit: This bunker is unlikely to be used as office space any time soon as it is rather badly contaminated with asbestos]

I keep meaning to go and have a look (I'm local, although trapped in Fife lately). Not that there'd be much to see, really.

The place has a grim fascination for me as somewhere that was obviously a planned ground-zero for a Soviet nuke - probably a ground burst.

(NB I live between central Edinburgh and Corstorphine Hill).

No, however, I'm going to have to read that as it sounds pretty interesting! The idea came out of a "What would be fun, get people exercise, and allow us to interact with others, make use of our hobbies - and add excitement to our lives?"

Sounds like "The Game" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119174/ from 1997. Quite a good film, hopefully this game is not that sinister. :)

Also "This is not a Game" by Walter Jon Williams. The main character designs games like this. Then since it's fiction winds up involved in the real thing, of course. I liked it, and there's a sequel coming out soon too.
