    Go Play Games With Earthquakes In Them

    October 17 marks the anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake — that famous 1989 one that rocked Northern California during an Oakland Athletics/San Francisco Giants game.

    So all this week, I'm going to try to play games with earthquakes in them. I guess I could widen that to include games with bridge collapses, since part of the Bay Bridge fell during the quake. And if I was feeling really desperate for something to do, I could go find a copy of R.B.I. Baseball since I was probably playing that instead of watching the real ballgame that day.

    Here's what I've got:

    Fracture
    Bad Day L.A.
    Incredible Crisis
    Any SimCity game
    Cities XL
    The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask – if you let the moon crash into the planet
    Any Final Fantasy game where enemies keep casting Earthquake
    Quake – even though there aren't any earthquakes in it

    Anybody got any other games I can add to this obscure list?
