IMPORTANT NOTE: The type of thing I am talking about here is NOT just something funny that you see or read while the game is generating a world or loading a save. But what other games have also used humorous world generation and/or loading screen messages? The SimCity games have continued the tradition of humorous loading screen messages, and I think The Sims franchise has as well, up to and including the continued use of the phrase "reticulating splines". As it was generating the random terrain and starting conditions, the window would flash random humorous text at you about what it was (allegedly) doing - planting trees, lowering mountains, and the now-legendary "reticulating splines". It is remembered for a lot of things, but one of the things most beloved by gamers of the time was the little messages you got whenever you'd start a new game. Over 20 years ago, SimCity2000 hit the shelves.
