History Main / RandomlyGeneratedLevels

* ''Lufia: The Legend Returns'' and ''Ruins of Loire'' both have all their dungeons randomly generated. ''Lufia II'' did this before them, but just in the Ancient Cavern, an optional portion of the game.

* ''Get Medieval'' (a ''Gauntlet'' clone) had a game mode that would randomly generate dungeons.

* ''CommandAndConquer'' allows for randomly generated levels.

* Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles have bonus levels that have you running around touching all the blue spheres (which then turn red) and avoiding red ones. Lock-on ''Sonic & Knuckles'' with ''any'' non-main-Sonic game made before it, and you'll get a Sonic 3 style bonus level unique to that game, and other copies of the same game will play the same stage. The idea is that gamers will want to check out their whole library of games for bonus stages, but this was an unadvertised feature, possibly because it didn't work with games made after Sonic & Knuckles. There's a lot of different bonus levels to find, but there's even more if you connect S & K to the original ''Sonic The Hedgehog'', which keeps dishing levels into the ''millions'', and lets you revisit ones you've already played through passwords.

* The Rubik's Cube (and other similar puzzles) are based on this concept, since you are supposed to scramble them randomly before you begin.
* Every trading card game ever.

* ''WaterWarfare'' randomly generates all its maps, though in each of the four map themes (Playground, Beach, Plaza, and Nature Park), certain features will always be consistent. Certain templates will also show up with reasonable consistancy based on map size (small or large), game type (Battle Royale, Deathmatch, Treasure Chest, Checkpoint, Point Rally, Defender), and number of players (2-8). For example, a 1-on-1 Battle Royale on the Playground will always have two hills and no underground tunnel, but adding just one more player allows a tunnel to appear. But no matter how many players are added to a Treasure Chest battle, if it's on the Playground, there will never be a tunnel. (In Mission Mode, however, the maps are always the same for each mission, and not random at all).

* ''BattleForWesnoth'' allows for randomly generated maps. Also, one of the levels in one of the campaigns is randomly generated. Random cave maps, however, tend to favor chaotic units far more than lawful units, as the cave generator doesn't make any lighted spaces yet.

* In StarControl 2, everything in a star system is randomly generated based on position: planets, moons, resources, etc. A few plot important systems have specially overriden stats.
** Averted in remake [[UrQuanMasters Ur-Quan Masters]]. Everything has fixed stats and locations.

* ''{{Daggerfall}}'' has over 15,000 procedurally generated towns, cities, villages and dungeons.

*** This was expecially true before the first few patch: later on, they changed the random generator to be less annoying. Still relevant to this trope: it's still random, only in a different way.

* ''ZettaiHeroKaizouKeikaku'' is a {{Roguelike}} and thus completely based on the trope.

** Averted in remake Ur-QuanMasters. Everything has fixed stats and locations.

* ''MegaManX 6'' is the only [[SoBadItsHorrible Mega Man X game]] to feature these.
** First of all, it wasn't random, the changes were all predetermined, and you could easily manipulate them if you paid the least bit of attention. Second, more a case of YourMileageMayVary - this troper finds X6 the best of the X series.

* In [[TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony's]] playthrough of ''SWAT 4'', he points out that while the layout is always the same the people in the buildings are placed differently every time.

* ''BattleForWesnoth'' allows for randomly generated maps. Also, one of the levels in one of the campaigns is randomly generated.

* All NipponIchi games have this for their "extra dungeons" (such as Item World), and a few have this option for their normal dungeons (e.g., some parts of ''MakaiKingdom'').
