Millennials when they are old enough to make their own video games: Makes wholesome games about being a naughty goose. Also makes an RPG where you don't have to kill any of the enemy monsters but make friends with them because you feel bad for them
Violent AAA games don't count shut up, corporations aren't people.
The stark contrast between the stuff my generation makes in the indie scene compared to the corporate scene is pretty interesting though.
From the top of my head
Sim City 2000
Civilization 1-2
Flight simulator 95-98.
Railroad tycoon.
Rollercoaster tycoon.
Harvest Moon
All extremely popular 90's games. Any boomer saying that at that time you could tell was full of shit right away.
Good point lol
Man, I loved the shit out of Sim City. Even if I was too young to know how the heck to play well.
Same. I also had Streets of Sim City that I could get running at a solid 15-20fps at the time. You could import anything you built in Sim City 2000 and drive around Twisted Metal style in it!
Ironically enough, SimCity and Flight Simulator are boomer favorites.
Sim City on the SNES was my jam* for YEARS. I managed to figure out how to reliably build a megalopolis on my own, in the nascent Internet era where reverse-engineering or data mining were just pipe dreams. I was (and still am) very proud of that.
Civilization is pretty violent
