SimEarth
 

Yes, yes, its Maxis, its a sim game.
But did you know that even though its 10 or so years old its still for sale?
Yesterday, coming back from Calais on a ferry(School Trip) I was just browsing the shops with some friends, looking at the games on offer, and there, right infront of me, was Sim Earth, PC-Cd Rom! Not exactly what I'd expect! I didn't look closely at it though, as the wind was approaching 80 kmh and i had a headache...

and is this your favorite oldie or...?

This had to be one of the worst GAMES of all time. Corny to even think you could make a game to make a PLANET. of course it isn't gonna live up to the hype you think it would. This game should be destroyed and never sold or seen again.

Ever play it, LeD? :D

I absolutely hate this game. I thought it was horrible. And if i'm asked if I played it. I own it.

I think it's a pretty good game, but its audience is certainly somewhat specific... The game isn't very accessible.

Oh, and I bought it a few months back :)
Those sim-games will be available forever, it seems :D

I played it, but as I recall, Chris Crawford sold the game stating up front it was an educational tool--not a game. It was designed to show just how interconnected dozens of factors are in controlling the Earth biosphere. That was all it was intended to do, and it did that extremely well.

a CD for like 2MB game.... talking about overkill...

Lucky you!

I was also lucky enough to find it a year ago.

Lucky's a big word. That game's nearly incomprehensible, as it has too many things to take into concideration.
