Eurogamer reviews those games that fall under the little known category of cartography or in common terms, map-making. While most games already have fully-loaded maps these games come with the added pleasure of getting to make your own step by step.

Cartography is a profession woefully under-represented in videogames. We're used to having our in-game maps fully charted and available right from the start of a level (or, in the case of Zelda at least implausibly awaiting discovery in some remote treasure chest). As a result, few modern gamers will have experienced the antiquated and inimitable enjoyment that comes from painstakingly mapping a level, square by square on school maths paper.
