SimEarth Editon
Continuing the streak of 1993’s “Games that are fine”; we have three more games that are perfectly, astonishingly okay.
We’ve got Harley’s Humongous Adventure, a game we were fully expecting to be awful and turned out to be a fine and competent run and jump platform game.
We’ve got Shanghai II: Dragon’s Eye. If you love Mah Jong Solitaire, but wish it cost $49.99 rather than nothing, you will love this one!
Finally, there’s SimEarth which is another complex sim but a better one of those than any of the Koei games have been.
Look, it’s been a long week. Why not stop doom-scrolling and settle down with us for an hour and let us tell you about some 30-year-old games that are fine?
