Many people know of the SNES version of SimCity, but there was actually a version made for the NES that was unreleased, and The Video Game History Foundation published a few minutes of gameplay of the prototype for it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0q93b_allY.

It looks similar to other versions of SimCity we know. The music is fairly repetitive (that 8-bit limitation has a lot to do with that, I'm sure) but the video here shows a lot of the gameplay features, including the monster destroying the city. The music of the short cutscenes with the animated characters (saying you have too much crime, etc) really have a kinda Mario sound to them, in my opinion.

This was a cool watch for SimCity fanatics like myself. 😂

'Shark Dentist' is an upcoming game described by its devs as a 'unique horror roguelike' (more like a horror sim rogueLITE). It's coming to Steam soon-- definitely something I gotta try. 🦈 🦷

Here's the 'reveal trailer' they just posted (warning, some blood, etc): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7HjJipvOxk&t

And you can wishlist the game like I just did on Steam for when it comes out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3423280/Shark_Dentist

Playing some of this cool in-browser bee colony management game 'Monarchies of Wax and Honey'. I discovered it on itch, but it's also at https://monarchies.io to play in browser for free. It's so cool - simple, and cool. What is it that I like so much about insect simulation games..

Sometimes I come up with strange video game projects. I've loved city simulation games since I first played the original Sim City game in school in the 80s. I've enjoyed several Sim City games since (2000, DS, the mobile one), but I've always just gone headlong into the game and built anything however, without a real plan, like the big dumb Aries I am.

I recently grabbed Skylines on Switch when it was super discounted, and it's such a cool looking, realistic game, that this time, I want to do it LEGIT. I decided I wanted to research real cities (and I've started to) for different things like sustainability, walkability, etc, in order to plan out a really cool, realistic type city in the game.

Playing the new #SpeedDreams 2.3.0 on my break here. Impressive!
I grabbed the #Linux AppImage from the Speed Dreams website and am VERY pleased with: Overall experience, music, sound fx, mouse steering (!) and configurability. Holy smokes this has been a lot of fun.
(I am also pretty sure you can drift, just reflecting on my many wipeouts so far #dorifuto )

Hi, I’m Dawn!
I’m a Filipina living in Melbourne.

I share my love for #coffee & #videogames with my husband who is btw an amazingly talented gamer/content creator (👋🏻 @OldCuppa—welcome to #mstdngames!). Unlike him who enjoys a variety of games, I mostly play #simgames & #cozygames.

Other interests: #basketball, #football, American comedy #TV series, #books.

I have 2 kids, & I’m powered by filter coffee & the occasional peanut butter chocolate cookie. 🍪

Nice to be here! #introduction #newbie

Paleo Pines is my new favorite, and the release isn't until SEPTEMBER. For anyone out there who is playing the demo:

Wuerhosaurus
- Likes spring onions
- Needed an earthy poppin (used potatoes to make)
- Didn't like 3 penmates, one was fine

Location attached (northeast corner of the demo map)
