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

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

[–] MinorLaceration@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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.

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.
