SimEarth: The Living Planet is a Simulation Game by Maxis, released for home computers in 1990 and the Super Nintendo in 1992. After SimCity, it was the first "spinoff" in the Sim Series. The game leaves the player in control of a planet's terrain and biosphere over billions of years. As well as playing with a custom planet, you can try your hand at scenarios like terraforming Mars, solving modern-day Earth's problems, or exploring James Lovelock's Daisyworld hypothesis.The game is more involved and less humorous than most of the Sim titles. One of its more whimsical elements is the Gaia window, which conveys your ecosphere's "mood" via a talking planet with an animated face. | |

Gaia's Lament | |
| SimEarth (Video Game) / int_13a6b7ef | comment |
Gaia's Lament: Can be perpetrated by both the player and the sentient species. Sentients can pollute the planet into global warming or nuke it into nuclear winter, and the player can hit it with disasters and destructive terraforming, or mess around with the planet sliders. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| SimEarth (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: "All" being a crash course in earth sciences, from geology to biology, and a functional guide to climate modelling that is useful 20 years later in understanding IPCC reports. It was over 500 pages, went into exhaustive detail about the simulation's assumptions and underlying equations, and was larger than most modern game boxes. The Super NES version had a comparatively simple manual, putting the most important info from the other versions' manuals in an in-game dictionary accessible from the main menu. The Virtual Console version's operations guide condenses it much further, eschewing the earth sciences lessons entirely and covering just the basics of gameplay — considering how complex the game is, this is a flaw rather than a mercy. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| SimEarth (Video Game) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: The Gaia Hypothesis that the entire game is based on is acknowledged by the manual as being not widely accepted in scientific circles at the time of release, and remains widely controversial to this day. However, it runs with it anyway because the result is an effective visual tool of how life and the environment on a planet can potentially develop regardless of the specifics. | |

| SimEarth (Video Game) / int_743d2893 | comment |
The Woobie: invoked The obscure, long-extinct Trichordates were included in the game because the developers "felt sorry for them." One of the most impressive achievements possible in the game (although no special events occur) is developing trichordates into the dominant form of life on the planet, and the resulting "alien" civilization that results from their sentience, given their extreme difference from all the other lifeforms in both nature and appearance. | |

Timed Mission | |
| SimEarth (Video Game) / int_bb48f8ba | comment |
Timed Mission: All worlds are on an absolute time limit: In ten billion years, the dying Sun will expand far enough to destroy the planet. Due to how time passes at very different rates depending on what era your world is in — from 10 million years per cycle in the Geologic Time Scale to one year per cycle in the Technology Time Scale — in practice this limit only becomes a danger if you spend too much time in the pre-civilization eras, where time passes very quickly. Some scenarios also have their own time limits, such as terraforming and colonizing Mars and Venus within a set number of centuries. | |

Idle Game | |

Idle Game: Deliberate manipulation of the planet is easier than it looks and can end the game quickly. Most of the enjoyment in the game comes from seeing how a random planet develops on its own. | |

Humans Are Special | |
| SimEarth (Video Game) / int_e0207930 | comment |
Humans Are Special: The PC version seems to favor mammals achieving sentience, at which point they will resemble humans. Right after one sentient species leaves or goes extinct, if mammals are evolved enough, they will reach sentience in no time flat, even if other species are at the same level as well. | |

Homeworld Evacuation | |
| SimEarth (Video Game) / int_e5a93e61 | comment |
Homeworld Evacuation: If the sapient civilization develops past the "nanotech age", an event called "the exodus" is triggered. All cities, regardless of tech level, are fitted with engines and take off into space. The planet is declared a preserve and left alone, possibly allowing a new sapient species to evolve. The motivation for the exodus is unclear. | |

Technology Levels | |

Technology Levels: Civilizations have seven levels to progress in, from the Stone Age to the the Nanotech Age, determinating how efficiently they can use given energy sources. | |

Sufficiently Advanced Alien: Possibly this is what the player is, if dialogue from the Monolith use means anything. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| SimEarth (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Aside from making the climate uninhabitable, if you want to actually have life, you can make life hellish (as is stated outright in the TurboGrafx-16 version) by setting Art and Philosophy down to zero. Oh yeah, and that city you just incinerated to see the Easter Egg robot race? Each city, especially Nanotech-class cities, can and will house hundreds of millions of sentient life forms. Nice going. | |
