Yesterday I found the opposite...a video game in an abandonment. I happened to stumble upon this little shack on my way to a location I was scouting. The game was right outside the shack.

Funny that you should mention that. There's an Atari 2600 box in an abandonment that I was in a couple of times last year.

Final Fantasy 7

...the wings on my shoes shrank now the moths won't eat my kidneys, when i shake my state capital it only yields 3 fairy napkins, but how do i know my banana slippers are like water boats because when the moon winks it burns my hamster punches, and that's how you get to llama school rowing your canoe backwards up main street when the front bumper falls off, do mermaids get to drink orange juice?

Max Pain? Seemed like it had a few if I remember.. not too sure since that was during the "drunken monkey" years.

Your right dude, Max Payne games had a bunch. Most noticeably the abandoned subway stations.

I'm guessing that at least 75% of all video games have some type of abandonment in them.

I don't play a lot of video games, but I thought that the Call of Duty 4 mission that takes place in Chernobyl was really well done. The soviet-era high rises and rusty cars were really cool and it looked just like some photos of the abandoned city downwind from the reactor site that I saw in National Geographic a few years ago.


It's nothing compared to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. The devs for Stalker mapped out the entire region and you can wander all throughout it. CoD4 graphics may be a little better, but Stalker's attention to detail is absolutely phenomenal. Every building, sign, and plaza in Pripyat is simply perfect. Clear Sky just came out as well. I can't wait to get to Limansk, the screenshots look amazing.

If Abercrombie suddenly decided that breathing wasn't cool, Half of American teens would have died within the past 24 hours.

Also, I just remembered Half Life 2 and the episode packs have alot of really cool abandoned stuff. That may have been mentioned in here before though.

What, only one other person mentioned Silent Hill? Shame...

Its funny, Silent Hill somewhat led me to the actual subculture of urban exploration. My Mate was looking for pictures of decrepid wheelchairs (of which are so creepily presented in the game) and she stumbled across Mr. Motts' Opacity website, and eventually to this site. But yeah, Silent Hill definitely presents lots of abandoned places in an eerie/surreal way. Best survival horror game imo.

However STALKER is indeed one of the best overall, in the sense that its modeled after an actual abandoned location.

Isn't Silent Hill partially inspired by Centralia?

The movie version of the town of Silent Hill was based on the coal fires in Centralia, but none of the games had anything to do with it.

If I might add some previously unmentioned ones...

Until "Condemned" came, I feel "Kingpin" was the best take on the "grimy, abandoned, dangerous" urban settings - from forgotten alleys and sewers, to old empty docks and abandoned factories, to unused metro tunnels and empty skyscrapers.

"Dark Corners of the Earth" features hours of exploration of Lovecraft's forgotten, half-abandoned, dilapidated town of Innsmouth and its surroundings.

"The Legacy" took place in an abandoned Victorian mansion.

All parts of "Penumbra" are located in an abandoned Antarctic base and its underground tunnels and caves.

"Blair Witch, Part I" - many locations, but the abandoned shacks in forgotten woods had an especially nice, realistic feeling. (The game is a spinoff of the previously mentioned and even better "Nocturne".)


Oh, and "Starship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy" - can anything beat an abandoned planet?

An abandoned galaxy?

How about the 2300 A.D. time period in Chrono Trigger, showing the game world a little over three hundred years after the Day of Lavos?

A lot of gameplay in the Pokemon series involves exploring active or abandoned buildings such as a power plant, mansions, Team Rocket HQs, even a large ship scuttled off the coast.

Pokemon World DB listing...? I'd totally go there for the UE. Who needs to be a Pokemon master anyway?

One of my favorite games ever!

Don't forget King Kong, which was basically a new skin run on the CoC: DCoE engine.

I already posted this in Other, but here's a fun little game that involves draining. It's just like the real thing.
