Editing Ringworld (section)

===Games===
In 1984, a [[role-playing game]] based on this setting was produced by [[Chaosium]] named ''[[Ringworld (role-playing game)|The Ringworld Roleplaying Game]]''. Information from the RPG, along with notes composed by RPG author John Hewitt with Niven, was later used to form the "Bible" given to authors writing in the ''[[Man-Kzin Wars]]'' series. Niven himself recommended that Hewitt write one of the stories for the original two MKW books, although this never came to pass.<ref>''[[Scatterbrain (Niven)|Scatterbrain]]'', pp. 293-301</ref>

[[Tsunami Games]] released two [[adventure game]]s based on ''Ringworld''. ''[[Ringworld: Revenge of the Patriarch]]'' was released in 1992 and ''Return to Ringworld'' in 1994. A third game, ''Ringworld: Within ARM's Reach'', was also planned, but never completed.

The video game franchise ''[[Halo (franchise)|Halo]]'', created by [[Bungie]], took inspiration from the book in the creation and development of its story around the eponymous rings, called Halos. These are physically similar to the Ringworld, however they are much smaller and do not encircle the star, instead orbiting stars or planets.

The open source video game ''[[Endless Sky]]'' features an alien species that creates ringworlds.

In 2017, Paradox Interactive added a [[DLC (video gaming)|DLC]] called "Utopia" to their game [[Stellaris (video game)|''Stellaris'']],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/281990/Stellaris/|title=Stellaris on Steam|website=store.steampowered.com|language=en|access-date=2019-02-15}}</ref> allowing the player to restore or build ringworlds.
