    It wasn't just an A's and Giants game, it was the World Series, and it was the Battle of the Bay. I was totally there. Well, in Santa Rosa. Crazy quake, went home and watched the news all night.

    "Disaster Report" for PS2 is a game that is all about surviving multiple environmental disasters...among them a handful of earthquakes. It's actually a pretty good game, too.

    Any of the godzilla fighters or that rampage game, every step the monsters make in those games is a little earthquake.

    ahh, cant remember the name but the godzilla fighting game on the gamecube remains one of my fondest recent gaming memories.

    I suggest you try and grab some copies of "SOS : Final Escape" and "Raw Danger" on the PS2. Both games are a little rough around the edges but there's allot of very cool moments and features in there =)

    Now that really is hard esp if that term is generalized, don't a lot of Final fantasy games have the 'earthquake' spell (pretty sure some of them have earthquake events such as Mideel in FF7), as does Heroes of Might and magic as a spell.
    I think Golden Sun begins with an earthquake.
    Then there's the really old obscure game (written in BASIC) San Francisco Earthquake (It's a text-based game) but probably hard to find considering it's from some point in the 80s.

    @WhatTheFrag: I believe Golden Sun begins with an earthquake... Part of the opening sequence I think. If not the djinni will be able to cast earthquake and you might enjoy golden sun better than any old FF game.

    Even for this site as well.
    If I said Today is Tuesday, April 20.
    Lets remember the Columbine High School massacre by playing counterstrike do you think that would make a good post?
    Exactly some things are funny others not so much.
    Not meaning to be a wet blanket, just expressing my opinion. After all that is what the internet is all about, right?

    @WiNg0o: It's a valid opinion. I don't think that an event resulting in the deaths of over 60 people should be dismissed trivially. By the same token, had AJ not mentioned it, I wouldn't have spared a single thought for those people. While the execution may have lacked a certain grace, the end result, in my opinion, justifies the article.

    You know, this is much easier on the eyes than Google Maps. Also, I'm more comfortable with the perspective here. Google Maps always makes me feel like I'm about to tumble over.

    Yeah, these exist for pretty much every Chinese city. I lived in Harbin for a while and the "SimCity version" was actually pretty useful since it's hard to find reliable maps online sometimes

    When I first started playing Sim City 2000 I had no idea there were any utilities in the game beyond electricity, as in the first game.



    I built many a huge metropolis sparsely populated by thirsty Sims before I noticed the cool new water pipe function.

    They have been working with a lot of forums in the SC community - still alive after all these years - doing researches, polls, what they think it's important, what isn't. I think their main strategy is to get EA's orphans, myself included.
