SimEarth: The Living Planet is a life simulation game released for the SNES in 1993. Developed by Maxis, this ambitious title puts you in charge of a planet’s entire evolutionary history, guiding its development from a lifeless rock to a thriving world inhabited by sentient life.
How to Play
Your objective is to manage atmospheric conditions, temperature, and planetary resources to create an environment where life can evolve and advance through different stages of civilization. In the browser, you can control the game using the arrow keys for the D-pad, the Z and X keys for the A and B buttons, and Enter and Shift for Start and Select.
Tips
- Pay close attention to your planet’s energy pool; allocating too much energy to terraforming early on can leave you without resources to guide evolution later.
- Temperature control is critical. Use atmospheric tools to manage greenhouse gases before extreme heat or cold wipes out your developing species.
