Title. Need some examples of games that had lefty politics and leanings and weren't too ashamed to hide it. Platform/country of origin is irrelevant. I know about FF7's support for ecoterrorism, and even the nuance about the people caught up in the middle, and there's plenty of games that take an anti-corporate stance, but that can be easily brushed aside.

I'm specifically interested in this era as it's when games first acquired the ability to become fully immersive in their narratives with the adoption of multimedia melding into the core gameplay loop via the use of full motion video, voice acting, detailed images and so on.

Reminder: all games are political; even abstract puzzle games.

    Fallout 1 and 2 are from this time period, are amazing games to boot.

    I would take them over the Bethesda Fallouts (or New Vegas even) any day.

      Criminally underrated games, with criminally overlooked politics. Of course, the g*mers are happy to ignore good politics if the game also allows the player the choice to do bad politics, in the interest of fairness - c'est la vie.
