SimEarth, the SNES version is by far the best. You may want to have a fast-forward button on your emulator handy, though.

>> No.3218116

>>3214387

You terraform a planet and try to create intelligent life. You have control over everything from the rate of volcanic activity and continental drift to the surface albedo to how fast life mutates. Some levels have you colonizing Venus and Mars, or committing genocide against a planet of robot life.

Only complaints are the sloooow pace and the fact that it spreads misinformation about evolution, like that some species are "more evolved" than others because they're bigger or more intelligent.

Never was a fan of small sprites as your main character. I get why they did it, but it just turns me off to the idea of playing for more than 10 minutes.

Young Merlin. fun adventure game with really great atmosphere and setting and tons of personality.

there's a casual filter section early on in the game that alot of people give up at, which is a shame because the game really deserves more credit than it gets.
