The evolution of virtual reality (VR) has opened up the new perspectives especially for cultural heritage representations and preservations. We present the effort to digitize and preserve traditional Malaysian heritage games using VRML. We have built a VR game named Srikandi Melayu Terakhir. We discuss vast possibilities of using VR games in order to convert physical traditional heritage games into the ultimate gaming experience. We also present the result of the game usability evaluation. The output of this effort provides a basis to better understand VR games design especially for preserving cultural heritage traditional games.
