Title: Games Where You Play As An AI?
Post by: bobusdoleus on July 21, 2010, 07:34:11 PM
'Ello, gents!  :gentleman:

I've recently played Endgame: Singularity (http://www.emhsoft.com/singularity/ (http://www.emhsoft.com/singularity/)) and it occurred to me to wonder if there are other games where you play as an AI? Like, not necessarily programming simulations or anything like that, but games where through flavor/story/etc. of the game you are an artificial intelligence.

Also, Endgame: Singularity is great. And free, and indie, and open source.

There's Infocom's A Mind Forever Voyaging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Mind_Forever_Voyaging).

Space Station 13?

In an abstract sense, Dwarf Fortress?

Yup, Mind Forever Voyaging def. lets you play as an AI. Cool.
Space Station 12 is a bizarre thing that I am intrigued, puzzled, and slightly frightened by and am going to explore some now.
Dwarf Fortress, while I love it to bits, in no sense has anything AI-related in it unless you invoke a lot of make-pretend, which is not exactly what 'm looking for.

Thanks peeps!
