SimLife wasn’t just another simulation game—it was a biological sandbox, a place where I could design creatures, tweak their genes, and then set them loose in my own handcrafted ecosystem. Would my six-legged, herbivorous mega-rabbit thrive in a harsh desert? Could I make a flying carnivore that only hunted at night? The answers were always unpredictable, and that’s what made it so magical.
It wasn’t about winning—there was no final boss, no high score, just endless experimentation. I spent hours fine-tuning genetic traits, adjusting environments, and watching as my carefully designed world either flourished or collapsed into extinction. The game felt alive, responding to my choices in ways that no other game did at the time.
I never got to play it. Still have the CD somewhere, but it was already too old for my time. Would love to see it preserved. I had to do with impossible creatures instead.
Had this as well as many other Maxis Sim games. I guess it was my first try at pixel art, because it let you draw the sprite for any creature. I remember kinda giving up on the game as I never felt they looked cool enough and they would always die anyway. The evolution genre, while still around, is as niche as ever. I'd love to see this make a return.

Shin Megami Tensei IIFifty years have passed since the hero of Shin Megami Tensei followed the neutral path, defeated the leaders of Law and Chaos, and founded a state where followers of both ideologies could live freely. But his reign of freedom doesn't last long. The Messian faith gains power, expanding the Cathedral into a new enclosed environment named Tokyo Millennium. The Gaians rise up, but their rebellion is repressed by the Messians' elite warrior class, the Temple Knights. People flock into the encapsulated city, submitting themselves to the strict hierarchy imposed by the Messian Center, where only the privileged living in the Center district are safe from demonic assaults.
A few years later, a retired arena fighter Okamoto rescues a man named Hawk, who was fighting for his life against a demon. He trains him to fight in the arena of the Valhalla district, hoping that he would win the tournament, which will grant them both citizenship in the Center district. When Hawk succeeds, he is brought before a Messian bishop, and learns the shocking truth about his own origins and the role he is supposed to play in the grand scheme of events. A new battle for a better future begins.
Shin Megami Tensei II retains all the gameplay features of the previous game. The player is able to summon demons, fuse them to create more powerful ones, make them participate in battles, talk to random enemies and receive information from them, etc. The combat is turn-based, and the player explores the complex, maze-like dungeons from a first-person perspective view. Like in the first game, the Law, Chaos, and Neutral alignments play an important role: during the course of the game, the player will have to make choices that influence the alignment of the protagonist, steering the storyline into different directions.
New features include a "magic succession" system, which allows demons to carry over their original magic spells when they are fused into new ones, a few additional spells and abilities, and the possibility to play at the casino and win unique items.Trending Fantasy Thriller Warfare Science fiction
