SimEarth - The Living Planet

Amiga · 1992 · EU

Also known as: Simearth - The Living Planet · Sim Earth : The Living Planet (EU)

Publisher: Ocean · Developer: Maxis Software

Sim Earth, another classic from the Sim something series, puts you into the role of God. A whole planet lies beneath you, on which you can simply control everything: The nature, the species, cosmic catastrophes, everything you like. Like any Sim-game, this one relies heavily on independent players, since there is no story or concrete goal. All you have to and can do is try to play as long as possible, and boy, are you lucky that 1000 years in the game are only 10 seconds in real-time ! The big drawback of this game is not the fact that the graphics are WAY sub-average (although the resolution is high res!) and that sound is almost non-existent. No, the biggest drawback, compared to Sim City or Sim Ants is that this game has no real appeal to anyone but science students, geologists and pseudo-intellectuals. This game is for those who find Railroad Tycoon or Civilization way too amusing, for those who think that good graphics are something unwanted and distracting from the real core of a game, or for those who think that dropping “I played through Sim Earth” will let them get all the chicks.
