My first real PC game was Civ 2 where I used the numpad to move, with the corners being for diagonals. and yeah, I don’t even really need it 90% of the time, but not having the numpad just feels wrong to me (though yes I still do play Civ 2 from time to time)

A few games use it for flight as well
The Amiga 600 was criticised for not having a numpad. I don’t think much needed it except DPaint (but that was a bit of very popular software).
