SimCity
<games> Maxis Software's simulation game which lets you design and build
your own city, which must be administered well if it is to thrive. Land must be
zoned, transportation systems built, and police and fire protection provided.
Once you've zoned some land, and provided electrical power, the simulation takes
over, and simcitizens move in. If you perform your mayoral duties poorly,
however, they will move out again. If you don't provide enough police, crime
will rise and sims will vote with their feet. Try to save money on fire
protection, and your city may burn to the ground. There is no predefined way to
win the game, building the largest city you can is just one possible strategy.
SimCity runs on Archimedes, Amiga, Atari ST, IBM PC and Macintosh. There was
also a NeWS version for Sun SPARC workstations running OpenWindows.
SimCity 2000 is an upgrade of SimCity.
