Fishing in OoT.
1080 Snowboarding.
Any games with water.

>>2689108
SNES mouse would've been perfect for this

A shame

>>2689113

This.

If only they made a new version for the Wii-U.

>>2689286
The mouse can't fix the bad resolution, Nintendo branding and addition of achievements

Wonder Boy in Monster World

until the last boss (non-jap versions)

You the man, anon! I remember in high school I tried to let my teacher play this song ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9Pga-y7F8k ) during a presentation I was making; she said no because it had nothing to do with the topic. Needless to say, I was crushed.

>>2689328

>let

I meant "make". Of course I would let her play the hang glide theme.

Harvest Moon SNES

no time limit (only that you must ship your crops before dark each day)
relaxing seasonal music
hand drawn characters (no cgi)
plant crops, water them, harvest them, sell them or give them away.

i particularly like this first game of the series because in the other games there is too much to do for my taste and too much of a social character. the first game has goldielocks conditions for me.

no picture i am on the phone.

>>2689375
How does it compare to the GBC version? It also keeps the social bits and side stuff at bay, as far as I remember

>>2689380
1 and 2 are simplistic. 3 is a great game and it gets better if you have legend of river king since both games communicate through the game link. You DO need to give presents to the fisherman guy or his daughter, I don't remember, to unlock the main land market.

the sound of the SNES and the speed of everything are much more satisfying. gb versions are cool too, but they are a bit fast paced for my taste and the small screen does take a bit away from the experience.

to play harvest moon compfyly the player musn't be too greedy. wanting to make too much money takes away from the simplicity of a farm life experience.

>>2689306
holy shit go back to /v/

I used to love sim city snes till i realised just how broken it is.

>>2689380
1 is basically the SNES game but with a lot of stuff missing. Pretty barebones.
2 is basically the first GB game but much, much closer to the SNES version
3 actually branches off and is completely original.

>>2689375
somebody order a screenshot?

I mean honestly, SimCity and Harvest Moon are just so... mindless.

They're really my next picks to purge. I have absolutely no desire to play them ever again. I just purged my Harvest Moon 2 on GBC since Gameboy games are usually awful.

not everybody can appreciate this kind of beauty. some people they always need to be challenged or solve difficult problems. some however do enjoy the quiet subtle beuty of a relaxing game.

you would probably be more interested in a race game or fighting game or puzzleplattformer.

>>2689438
Don't assume, it doesn't make you look good. Your false dichotomy isn't good looking either.

The "problem" with games like SimCity is the lack of direct interaction. There's a bit of indirect manipulation, then waiting. For some players that's not much of a game, and while I love SC2k, I have a hard time picking it up, due to the massive down time.
The "problem" with games like Harvest Moon is the high chore factor. Everything must be done because. Some people seek a different kind of motivation. While I loved the GBC version, at some point the repetition got me. The game's whimsical, adorable, highly recommended, but there came a point when the game played me, when the chores became too dominant.

Meanwhile, some of the most relaxing games I constantly come back to involve going very fast.

>>2689306
SNES version is the best one there is of SimCity, get fukt

Uncharted Waters series

north america map with no computer players.

>>2690162
gdansk is not in north america.
what game?

>>2689108
This game is also pretty comfy.

>>2690110
As a portuguese citizen, I have to play this one day.

>>2689449
YES!

>>2689449
Is there any way to emulate this

>>2690167
railroad tycoon 2 platinum

>>2689449
precisely because some people are like you i said harvest moon should not be played greedy. when it becomes a chore that means you are working too hard on your virtual farm. some people notice this on their own. you don't. your tendency is to grind. that is why you need games that are restrictive with clear defined goals and time limits.

not every person is the same you know? some people like to be engaged and challenged by the game and pay constant attention to everything, others greate their own way of engaging and do not wish to be disturbed and overwhelmed by the game as it would the experience for them.

Knytt Stories is one of my favourite comfy games. All exploring, all platforming, atmospheric music without peer.

>>2690209
mame emulates it flawlessly. The Saturn and 3DS ports are suppose to be pretty good

>>2690290
Wow, that is a seriously insulting post. Get off your high horse and kill yourself, the world is better off without assholes like you.

OpenTTD is so fucking relaxing

>>2689425
I still love it, but this. I find it hard to make myself make a natural city when its so much more efficient to build all rail, 2*whatever grids and bulldose all hospitals and schools to maximise population.

>>2691365
that's because you try to max population, instead of building a natural city

Until you realise all those fucking vehicles you bought 50 years ago are breaking down at the same fucking time.

>>2691435
Can you do normal maintenance before that happens?

>>2691369
Good point.

>>2689108
Maximum comfy... we used to play that game for hours... pic related was also great

>>2689113
yes

>>2691439
It's also why I dropped the comment in >>2689306 It's admittedly a bit trollish, but I stand behind the general point.
The game introduced the population based achievements, implying that the sole goal of the game is population. It's not though, SimCity is much more freeform and open. You can try to make a grid city, you can try to make something european looking, you can try to make arbitrary layouts and try to maintain a positive balance sheet in them,you can make a set of small towns instead of a big one, and so on. The real goal of Sim City is whatever you declare it to be on the current play-through. That openness is a feature, an important one.

>>2691449
While not as stylish, Micropolis is a nicely accessible version of SimCity. Based on the original source code made available by EA itself.
The devs encourage customization and plugin development. I don't know if anybody added the SNES tileset to it though

>>2689424
why are nintendofags the worst, do you even know there is an amazing amiga version

>>2691469
>no music
No thanks.

>>2689402
That was some shameful Corporate Instructional/Indoctrination inter-company level Musak quality music.

Playstation SimCity 3D mode is pretty...disturbing.

It's like I'm playing LSD
