Comment on If you could only play 10 games for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

- Oxygen not Included. Near perfect colony simulator IMO. Plus if I’m screaming at the dupes doing dumb stuff, I’m not complaining at RL people doing dumb stuff.
- Stardew Valley. I can min-max if I want, I can roleplay it if I want, I can even loaf around chatting with villagers.
- Factorio. I’ll stop playing it once I get enough iron. (You never have enough iron.)
- RimWorld. It could be Dwarf Fortress instead, but IMO RW is better designed, and the mod selection is amazing.
- Minecraft. Modded the shit out of. Probably 1.12 or 1.7.10.
- Final Fantasy VI. I thought about Chrono Trigger; it’s also fun but FF6 has better replay value.
- OpenTTD. CHOO CHOO! I tend to spend more time staring at the paused game and planning shit out than actually playing it, but the whole process is fun.
- Donkey Kong Country 2. It’s a sentimental game for me, and I can literally play it blindfolded.
- Civilization V. When I’m really pissed at something, I play as the Shoshone in the easiest difficulty, Pangaea, small map, versus Venice. No city states nearby. My goal is to reduce Venice to a one tile civ.
- Pokémon Emerald. Or even better, some hack that keeps everything vanilla but allows you to catch all 386, there should be one out there. Leaf Green or Fire Red could be, too.

For number 10, I know that exists for Crystal so I don’t see why not for Emerald. Hacked Crystal is the only way I play Gen 2 these days.
Found one already — aptly named “Emerald 386”. I never bothered with it because mGBA implemented link cable damn well, but in the light of your post using a catch’em all hack makes more sense.

Upon looking into it, it seems like Emerald Final is another ROM hack that seems more in depth, so I might give that one a shot at some point. I may try both though just to see what’s up.
