The image is from Sim City 2000. One of the last, most advanced, most expensive buildings you could acquire was the Arcology, which looked like a biodome on top of a rocket. If you built enough of them, and your city survived long enough, it would trigger an Easter egg of sorts, where all your Arcology buildings would launch into space. That’s what’s happening here, they’re about to launch.
But just the Launch Arco, specifically. IIRC there were two or three others like the black Darco that didn’t launch.
It’s funny the things my brain chooses to remember for over two decades, yet it forgets for months that the car I drive every day probably needs a wheel bearing until I start driving and it makes the noise again for the hundredth time. I might never play that game again and yet the car could kill me and/or other people tomorrow.
Actually… now that I mention it, this post is making me want to spin up an XP VM. BRB, priorities.
