I played SimCity on SNES all the time as a kid. Playing it as an adult, it gets boring pretty quickly.

Lords of Magic was both weird and comfy at the same time.

Excellent choice and as good of a "continuation" of Masters of Magic as one can ask for. Spent hours with all three installments

I love both the 2nd game and Shadow Magic to death, but it was released three years too late to be counted as retro by boar rules.

Second is arguably the best of the series and has the preetiest graphics but the thirf went further with the development of class/race system they had in mind. It's worth trying at the very least, even thouugh some of the unit options are retarded as fuck.

Harvest Moon soothes my soul. I go to More friends of mineral town, however. I'm gonna pick that up right now actually.

I usually reserve SimCity for SNES for snowy days at home. It always seemed warm and fitting for that time of year.

That game's great so can't blame you there. I was shocked when I was looking into hacks and realized that apparently there's not one that makes it endless. Shame really.

ehh??? You can do a melon run from the beginning. When did i say you have to beat the game first? And by map out the levels i mean have a bit of a plan in mind with the levels and not just bumrushing it.
