    This website lists appearances of Moai in video games. Why not, you know?

    I created it in 2019 and have been maintaining ever since. Contributions come from the video game community thanks to threads on various web forums, and a presence on Twitter. I also enjoy deep diving to find them myself.

    It's amazing that we are closing in on 1000 games featuring Moai, and that appearances in old games are still being discovered today. If you're still puzzled, there's an FAQ on the website.

      This is the kind of thing I feel like wouldn't get signal boosted anywhere else. It's so specific and incredibly niche that almost no one would care, but it's so incredibly cool to just have this...

      It's so specific and incredibly niche that almost no one would care, but it's so incredibly cool to just have this elaborate database.

      I guarantee you someone, somewhere will use this to win a pointless argument.

    Here's one you're missing! RollerCoaster Tycoon 2's expansion Wacky Worlds has South America theming, which contains a Moai statue object. You can see it on this wiki.

      Nice! Thank you. We need to find it as a game screenshot - I'll take a look around when I get a chance.

    Less than 50 to go to hit 1000. Should happen later this year. Just added Mars After Midnight by Lucas Pope. https://moai.games/mars-after-midnight/

    Wow. This is so oddly specific. It reminds me of my cousin from long ago. He was so strangely fascinated with a Yu-Gi-Oh card that featured Moai on it that I still remember that 20 years later....

    Wow. This is so oddly specific. It reminds me of my cousin from long ago. He was so strangely fascinated with a Yu-Gi-Oh card that featured Moai on it that I still remember that 20 years later. Any chance you are my long lost Moai-obsessed cousin?

    Moais always remind me of Papa Moai from Red Meat (https://www.redmeat.com/). Sadly, most of what I remembered there I just can't seem to find these days (even in the meat locker). Guess I'm getting old... but, this was how I found out about what a moai actually was, back like in '99 or so...
    I love this list. It's just as awkwardly weird but awesome as Red Meat.
