How are there hardly any votes on this? This is the greatest sims-like game of all time. I truly cannot believe I am only vote number 11. I will buy ten copies myself if y'all brought it back. My cousin and I would play the demo the first game all night until we got to the max and then we'd start over. Finally I had the birthday money to to buy it and I couldn't put it down. Then they came out with Trouble in Paradise, which really was just Viva Pinata + but it was perfected. The dino pinata is so cool and its a blast to breed rare versions of the pinatas. I would seriously buy a copy for everyone I know.
This game is a treasure, no other game comes close to capturing the whimsy and magic of Pinata Island. The world is full of detail, the pinatas all have unique personalities, and the customization you can pull off is both simple but rewarding when creating a garden! This game deserves to be seen and played by everyone!
Finding all of the charming designs was such a core memory. Seeing the patterns in the shells and reading the manual many times over really just made me love it so much as a kid. This game is so unfortunately overlooked nowadays.
I have had dreams about this game being brought back from the dead and given mod support. One was set in Sandtrap from Halo 3. The whole map of which was my garden; and I was picking off ruffians and sours with the sniper...
Those games also need your vote!

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
