Confession time: What's the worst thing you've done in a game?

Oh that's easy. Nukes were fun to use in the original Civilization. Standard attack, nuke a city a couple times until all units are dead and walk in to claim it. Then cause global warming from the pollution overflowing the coastal areas and making more deserts. I probably committed plenty genocide as well, the game labeled the natives as barbarians to be wiped out. The original dehumanization game!

Same, been a long time ago, but still...

In the Hearts of Iron series, I conquered the world several times with Nazi Germany. And in the mod The New Order: Last Days of the Thousand Year Reich, I managed to achieve global thermonuclear war, basically nuking the entire planet into oblivion.

Speaking of nuking planets, the Stellar Converter in Master of Orion II allows to totally destroy a colony and turn it into a Asteroid field. It's a viable strategy to do this and then remake a planet out of the debris, because no matter how small or minerally poor the planet was, it will become a large abundant planet, so of course it gets used plenty.

I played the original Carmageddon (1997) for countless hours and sometimes I chose to win by running over all pedestrians, usually there were at least a few hundreds of themselves in a single map.

Oh yes! And the competition too while I was at it.
