SimEarth

SimEarth is a simulation game released in 1990 by Maxis. Designed by Will Wright and based roughly on James Lovelock's Gaia theory of planetary evolution, it models Earth and allows the player to adjust properties of the world and observe how the simulation progresses.

This game is amazing, If you completly ignore the graphics and treat that as you treat a book, you gonna have fun. When I was younger (10) I really was a fan of Will Wright, I still think he’s a genius. My first Maxis game was Spore (My favorite game ever, untill I play Oblivion), than The Sims, Simcity and Darkspore. But I felt like, every game was missing somethings (Mainly Spore). When I discovery this old games from Maxis I saw that what was missing. The total control, they probably didn’t foccused in visual improvments, but instead, they focused in logic and Mechanics. So can sound bizarre but yestrday when I was playing Battlefield V, I didn’t have so much fun than I am having playing that games.
