Games with great environments
#12
Maybe an unusual choice, but I really liked the environments in Creatures 2. This was a game that I played as a kid and, while the actual artificial life/virtual pet aspect of the game was difficult and frustrating for my young brain to get to grips with (even now it's still a pretty frustrating experience) I remember really loving the world exploration.

For a 2D prerendered world, there was a lot to look at and discover. Forests, beaches, farmland underwater labs, ancient ruins, volcanic caves, they managed to pack a lot into what is a relatively small world when you actually look at it. Yet there was still this element of mystery to it all, since it was this blending of science and nature with the story mentioning stuff about ancient civilizations that left behind all this strange technology. It really made you want to get out and explore... assuming you could actually get your creatures to actually go where you wanted them to, the bastards.
