Sega CD
SimEarth
SimEarth is a simulation game originally developed by Maxis which was ported to the Sega Mega-CD by Game Arts and Sega. Unusually, despite it being an American invention, the Mega CD version of the game was a Japanese exclusive. The game puts you in charge of an entire planet throughout its 10 billion year lifespan. Your ultimate task is to guide the planet’s inhabitants into the stars, from its humble single-celled roots. The main threats you face include pollution, disease, famine, war and global warming. The controls available to you include the chance to move mountains and continents, creating different levels of species, and unleash tidal waves and earthquakes so as to reshape your planet. All of these things take from your limited energy, which must be replenished.
