SimEarth: The Living Planet	Maxis	1990	Guide the development of a planet and the lifeforms of it from primordial beginnings to the development and exodus of multiple intelligent species. A large number of reviews claim there is no 'game' in this game. They are referring to the game's various open-ended modes play. These reviews ignore the scenarios mode with three levels of difficulty. Each mode has win conditions and loss conditions.* [37]*Take charge of an entire planet from its birth until its death--10 billion years later. Guide life from its inception as single-celled microbes to a civilization that can reach for the stars. Inspired by James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis, SimEarth simulates the Earth as a single living organism.

Banania	Data Becker	1992	You are Berti, the garbage collector who was called to a warehouse to clean up monkeys after a runaway. The monkey discovered banana trees here and hid on the 51st floor. On his flight, however, he ate many bananas and threw the Peelings carelessly on the ground. You now have to make your way through each floor, picking up after him and avoiding the garbage Monster. To get through each level, you also need to strategically move blocks to gain access to the banana skins and block the monsters. Two types of monsters will be after you, but watch out for the purple as you can also move blocks. The game is like a cross between Sokoban and rodent revenge. It's easy, fun, and sometimes very challenging. It will keep you entertained for hours, and you can always go back and repeat a level because it records the number of steps. The fewer steps you take, the higher in the charts you will be.***[media=youtube]tGSEXlGLfV4[/media]

Several years have passed since the events in the first game. Now, the Empire, the cruel monolithic nation ruling the surface world, has realized that Exile, the nation they created, has become highly dangerous. Their troops are now being teleported into Exile in great numbers, overwhelming the defenses of the beleagured souls below. There is hope, though. It comes in the form of a new, bizarre race of creatures, who live in the deepest of the caves. Will you be able to summon aid to your cause, before every last soul in your homeland is wiped out?'
Exile: Escape From the Pit	Spiderweb Software	1995	From official site: 'Exile: Escape From the Pit is the first game in the Exile trilogy, which takes place in the strange subterranean world of Exile. Exile is populated by the misfits and malcontents of the surface world, people who were forever banished to the underworld for being too strange, or too antisocial, or having too many incorrect opinions. This is the fate you have just suffered, and it is up to you what to do from here. Will you try to escape the strange prison of Exile, will you try to gain power and save your fellow exiles from the monsters that threaten them, or will you try to gain revenge on the Empire that cast you below? It's up to you!'
