Line 44:
* ''[[Vega Strike]]'' has an [[Expy]] of Retros from ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]]'', "Interstellar Church of True Form's Return" (as in, "Luddite [[X Meets Y|meets]] [[Manifest Destiny]] theology"), whom everybody else calls Luddites -- the nutty offshot of legitimate [[Space Amish|Purists]] faction.
* The eponymous "Dark Project" in the first ''[[Thief]]'' game is the Trickster's plan to take humanity back to the Stone Age.
* Several cases in ''[[Arcanum: ofOf Steamworks and Magick Obscura]]'', in part due to the fact that technology and magick interfere with each other. King Praetor of Cumbria forbids technology in his realm, because {{spoiler|he came to power in a mage-backed coup d'etat, "disappearing" his brother to the Isle of Despair}}. Also the Dark Elves, though in this case Luddism is only part of their package (their objective is to restore Elven dominance over the world). Finally, in [[The Time of Myths|the Age of Legends]], {{spoiler|Arronax destroyed the technological civilization of Vendigroth because their technology was growing too advanced and threatened the dominance of the Elven Council}}.
