SimCity

Will Wright and his game developing company Maxis hit it big with their first game: Sim City. An incredibly intricate and detailed game for its era, Sim City has the player design and build a city by laying down roads, deciding upon zoning policies, and putting down especially important buildings such as police stations and hospitals.

The game is generally open-ended, considering that there's no real ending when it comes to managing a city. Players that prefer to work towards a goal can play the scenarios included in the game that have specific objectives. If the player is in a more destructive than constructive mood, he or she can spread some havoc by subjecting the city to a natural disaster.

On the SNES, Sim City was upgraded with season specific graphics and bonus content. Two extra scenarios are included and the generic monster-attack disaster has been replaced with Mario's nemesis: Bowser.

Legacy...

Sim City was originally a PC game that was released back in 1989. The SNES port arrived two years later in August of 1991. Numerous other ports of the game were released for a variety of systems and many sequels followed. The game was released for Nintendo's Virtual Console on the 19th of November, 2006.
