I'm not familiar with any of these. Which ones are worth getting?

[-] diffcalculus@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Not familiar with SimCity?? Excuse me while I get back in my room at the retirement home.. 😭

[-] MinorLaceration@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Well I am familiar with Sims and I did play one briefly as a kid, but not enough to have an impact. Maybe you're not old, I just might not be cultured.

I quite enjoyed the dungeon keeper games back in the day

I second this notion, I also liked the saboteur a lot. Basically GTA-like WWII Paris, what's not to like?

GTA 3D , but somehow even less serious! But more serious than the likes of saints row, that's plain ridiculous.

The Saboteur is an excellent game. It's set in German occupied France during WW2, mainly Paris but also the surrounding countryside. You can also cross the border into Germany to Saarbrucken which is cool. It's open world and is like a combination of GTA and the older Assassins Creed games.

Populous The Beginning was amusing and way ahead of it's time. Used to play it in simpler times. I would build up the economy and my friend would do the warring

The Beginning got TONS of crap when it came out. DK2 as well, although a bit less so because it's less of a departure.

I've gone back to both since and I agree with you that Populous was way ahead of its time and holds up much better than other strategy games of the time.

Still waiting for that fan remake to be released :(

(it will probably never come)

SMAC for sure.

Go Gaian and rule the world with your mindworm army.
