Description of SimCity
SimCity (also known as 模擬城市, 模拟城市, Sim City, Micropolis, シムシティ) is a game published in 1989 by Brøderbund Software, Inc., the theme is managerial. It features a simulation genre and uses a top-down perspective.
In 1990, Maxis made the first and legendary Simcity, a city construction simulator. Starting in 1900, no buildings exists and you have to create road, create industrial and residential zones, school, police stations and much more to make you city grow.
Sometime you have to face natural disasters like a twister or a flood. In the free mode no goal is set, so the victory or the defeat does not exist.
You may also play a scenario where you have a limited number of year to change the city. Several problems exist : high criminality, traffic jams, nuclear disaster or very high unemployment.
The game was a big it and a lot of Sim games followed later on, though the second opus, sim city 2000, is seen as one of the best.
