Have a look at Thrive, it's still in development but the first couple of stages are playable.

It was actually a pretty fun game, and if I recall correctly, eventually free. You might actually be able to find it online somewhere.

Although I’m not entirely sure if you wanna call it a game, per se… It was more like an evolution engine wherewith you got to experiment with different traits combinations, and eventually end up with an evolved creature of sorts. Interesting and amusing.

It seemed like something one might find in a fifth grade biology class as a teaching tool. But fun!

I did recently, got nightmares from it.

HA, I just thought the same thing!

Hopefully I find my USB CD drive and I can get it up on the Internet Archive

Most of the PC cds are already archived. However the mac version, except for the platinum version, is very hard to find. https://www.myabandonware.com/search/q/black%20&%20white

Same here but after prototyping, the issue is that the game would require you to face down which is a very good position in XR.

Omg, beating the crap out of your creature would be so awful lol.

Wow that'd be awesome. Played sitting at a table. Oof good times.

What's the game like?

Played it just the other day. Can’t wait until it’s finished. So far I got to the terrestrial blob stage.

It’s barely SIM game. In spirit maybe, but you’re not building homes you get a premade house and then do SIM adventure type stuff.

I actually rather enjoyed the game as a casual relaxing kind of game.

I don’t recommend it at top price, but if you can get it for less than $10 or $20 it’ll be worth the money.

The Sims Medieval is a weird game. It's barely a Sims game in the sense that you create characters, can edit the character's homes a bit, and the characters have needs you need to take care of.

But it's actually this weird RPG-like game where the characters play parts in stories and ongoing narrative. Basically you create characters for specific roles, and pick mini-stories to play through. Kind of hard to explain.

Also it's running on The Sims 3 engine so it's full of jank from the get-go, and it's basically unsupported by EA, and - and! - delisted from Steam in favour of Origin/EA app.

And a full decompilation currently at around 6% byte for byte.

Yeah I loved the Legend of Zelda feel to the old games. The platforming was wonky as a result of not having a jump button but everything else hit so well.

I mean, the racism and bigotry was always in the books, her money has just more open about her hate for specific groups.

I was surprised to not see The Sims: Making Magic when I saw that. Figured it would have been up their alley

It's actually 3 CDs. I never actually played the Harry Potter games. I didn't read the books until 2015. They are my wife's from before we met.

Probably Black and White, seeing as it's Lionhead and there's the expansion pack below it with similar art.

I have quite a few thousand hours in that game, of which about 900-1000 was on vatsim trying to get into a virtual airline. Tempted to get it to run again.

That was me. I just have too much crammed in my cabinets that I never open because they are a massive mess. I have the week off work, so I thought I'd make my office a place I'd enjoy to be in. These games were mixed in with some DVDs, a couple of VHS tapes, and CDs of wedding photos.

Most of these are my wife's. Flight Simulator and Black and White are mine, the rest are hers.
