Ever play it, LeD?*
Yes I have played it.I don't put down things unless I've done them personally...
The Sim Earth I played was for SNES, and it blowed, I don't see how anyone could like it.Is there a PC version...? maybe that would be cool somehow. But the 16 bit game was horrible.

I suspect they're virtually identical.

SImEarth really isn't a game. A forward that came with the original packaging by Chris Crawford stated that he made it only to illustrate how complex and interwoven a whole range of factors were, when it came to dealing with the Earth's biosphere. That was the sole point of what he did. The title was released at a time when experiments in gaming were still not impossible to find, and people didn't assume Game A played like Games B, C, D, etc. Streamlining wasn't in force, yet.

So by all means, criticize SimEarth if it doesn't do a good job of the point it was trying to make. But criticizing it for not being something it never set out to do--be a traditional game--is kind of beside the point. :)

Well the game doesn't even do that really that good...

Each to their own. I found it very successful, but obviously, we're going to disagree. :)

Why necro a 2 year old topic LeD?

Well, in this case I'd rather risk an opinion that he has performed a proper resurrection - just look, the discussion is going on!

I have played SimEarth on my 486 two years ago. Even kind of liked it - it was interesting to experiment with various things that can be done to terraform Mars - or Venus - or whatever other planet - as well as seeing how the planet reacts to drastic enviromental changes.

:wall: Maybe I was too young for the game. It had to of been cool in some way or it wouldn't have been produced. Just giving out my gaming opinion, Well I did twice LOL o well.

This topic is still here so I wanted to talk about it. I will Reply on any topic on here I want to, no matter how old it is... I wasn't around to give my opinion then but I am now. :ok:
