A mission-based Sims game was just what consoles needed. Everyone should experience this game and the one that came before it. They were very fun titles. This is a side-series (console Sims) that was never the same when The Sims 2 came out.

Les Sims : Permis de sortir est le deuxième jeu de la série à sortir sur console, mais il n’a jamais connu de déclinaison PC, ce qui en fait un parfait candidat pour le projet GoG Dreamlist. S’il est possible de créer sa propre famille de Sims dans un mode annexe, en partie lié à l’aventure principale, le jeu se concentre surtout sur la vie d’un seul Sims dans un mode Histoire qui le mènera à prendre sa vie en main, gravir les échelons promotions après promotion, pour finalement se venger de l’égoïste Christophe Rapat-Sité qui reprend tout ce qu’il avait donné aux différents Sims de la ville. Si le jeu n’est pas exempt de défauts (IA qui a du mal à trouver un chemin optimal, actions particulièrement longues au vu du défilement du temps), il reste bien fun et permet, par le biais d’objectif à remplir au sein de chaque maison et vis-à-vis de chaque personnage, de débloquer toujours plus d’objets, de véhicules et d’interactions. Les codes de triches sont aussi très pratiques et simples à utiliser, il suffit d’invoquer un nain de jardin. Voir le titre revenir et surtout arriver pour la première fois sur PC serait une très bonne chose.

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty
Dune II: The Building of a DynastyDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed. The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
Secret Weapons of the LuftwaffeAfter the success of the simulation titles Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain® and Battlehawks 1942 in the late 80s, LucasArts decided to follow up those games with another World War II simulation title: Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. Released in August 1991, the game followed the campaign by the US 8th Air Force to cripple the German Luftwaffe during the final years of World War II. Players could fly in either American or German warplanes. The game was remarkable because many of the playable airplanes were still under development during the war. In other words, the planes were never used extensively in battle, so players could explore “what if ” possibilities with the game. Those possibilities were further expanded by four Tour of Duty expansion packs. The planes in those expansions included the P-38 Lighting, a twin-engine escort fighter and the German Do335, an interceptor aircraft that featured a conventional tractor propeller in the nose as well as a pusher propeller behind the tail of the aircraft.
