Rather pacifistic games - Page 2

I remember Andreas Breen's port of Space Taxi being a good party game - you can play it with four players if you've got a joystick adapter.

Ports Of Call perhaps ?

The power. That game is disgustingly passive, all about love baby. There are more hearts in it than every other Amiga game combined.

Twintris with possible 2 player
Mule clones like Traders and Subtrade are quite fun if you like the genre and they offer 1-4 player.

The already mentioned Pipemania.
Kings Valley is nice too, although you occasionally throw knifes...

Also of course newer Ports like Pacman, Bagman, Bombjack, Tapper...

Kikugi might be in your league.

Lemmings still involves exploding the Lems (which always feels unfair on the blockers who do all that work and become sacrificial lambs at the end). And you are killing things in Rainbow Islands, and eating ghosts in Pacmania and other clones is borderline.

You're correct, but as I said, "rather pacifistic", not absolute and sort of debatable games should be the best you can get, but at least it's not pure massacre or war.

gimbal · 27 April 2024, 17:23

If California Games is on the list then Ski or Die should be there IMO. Sketchy name of course but don't judge a book by its cover

It has a wholesome snowball fight where you absolutely de-stroy kids.

...

hm.

Maybe some Street Rod for a racing game which is not just a racing game.

TCD · 27 April 2024, 19:12

Rod-land is also quite pacifistic.

Dunny · 27 April 2024, 20:05

Archipelagos

totally cute game, asides from grabbing mobs with your wands beam and repeatedly smashing them all head-first into the concrete floor till they die

I like to think they just teleport home to deal with the headache

Moonbase: Lunar Colony Simulator
Rock'n'Roll
All card games, basically
TV Sports Basketball unless mild non-harmful player contact is considered warlike activity
Railroad Tycoon (was this mentioned already?)
Rollercoaster Rumbler unless popping balloons is violence
Golf games
Pinball games

Frontier and Civilization are interesting in that you can choose play them either in a warlike or in a pacifist way.
