I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they’d just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a game totally differently than it was meant to be played.

I was never a fan of how StarCraft 1 is supposed to be played.

It had a map editor that allowed scripting and people used it to make tons of other games inside of StarCraft like tower defense games, drawing party games like you would see decades later on mobile, and RPGs of every franchise imaginable. There’s literally thousands of unique games out there on archive websites.

That’s also how DotA started, except in Warcraft 3.

Yeah, the ‘use map settings’ was by far the most fun I had in starcraft. Eventually someone showed me how to play the actual game well, and I went and steamrolled the campaign, and then it was back to the fun.
