Thinking of the older ones, King's Quest(/Space Quest/Police Quest - which held on longer as SWAT).
Personally I miss Populous. And Lemmings. |
Agree on all of those. Additionally to those Sierra adventures I would add the Lucasfilm adventures outside of Monkey Island, which got a new entry recently. Populous II was the last game I bought on 3'5" floppy discs, for 2€ used but complete in box in 1999. Populous III was a letdown, as it felt like a very different game with the franchise name tacked on to it. Speaking of games made by Bullfrog, pretty much their entire catalogue of titles could be listed here: The Theme series (Theme park/Theme Hospital), Magic carpet, Dungeon Keeper, and from Peter Molyneux's later studios Black & White and Fable |

Carbon footprint of streaming is 55 grams per hour, playing that game for 6 hours is a lower carbon footprint than watching / playing streamed content.
Lol the article admits it as well
"As a whole, physical video games may still be less carbon intensive than their digital counterparts – but their ultimate impact should not be underestimated."
Yep, it's just deflection, whataboutism while AI and crypto carbon footprints are magnitudes worse, mostly from electricity use.
If you want to be a 'green' gamer, buy a Switch, don't stream, don't play online, unplug when not in use. And still it won't make any difference compared to a daily commute to an air conditioned office.
And if you're concerned about discs ending up in landfills:
Since it was just last week
Halloween contributes to a significant carbon footprint due to disposable costumes and decorations, excessive candy wrappers, and decaying pumpkins in landfills. The production and disposal of single-use items create waste and emissions, while decomposing pumpkins release methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.

But there’s a growing awareness around the holiday’s environmental impact. From the mountains of pumpkin waste (about 1 billion pounds ending up in landfills each year in the U.S.) to the millions of kilograms of textile waste generated by costumes, Halloween’s fun comes at a significant cost to the planet.

You know what else releases methane, tons and tons and tons of it? Cattle farms. Made for you, meat eaters. Your dietary choice matters. |
You know how much forest are getting destroyed to make your soya beans
Billions of insects massacared for it.
Vegans are hypocritz
