Sim City


This is the first among the many Sims City and Sim realeses of Maxis. This is a simulation game genre that lets you build your own city designed by Will Wright in 1989. To date there are many simulation games that Maxis has created. And many of which is geared to simulation of life, career or building a city or a business. The SIM’s creation has given birth to the idea to build a simulation game of their own so may call that Sim is the ground breaking game that opened the door to this kind of platform games and genre.

The objective of the game is simple you have to build your own city but you have to mark the land you will own as zoned for commercial, industrial, residential or industrial use. From there you can build anything buildings houses, schools and establishments everything must be taken cared off in order to run and have a successful city like roads, electricity and taxes everything you need in order to run a successful city.

As a simulator game the only thing to consider is the scenarios like the normal life the city is not spared by natural disaster like floods, storms, earthquakes and economic problems. Even shipwrecks and air disaster are among a few problems you’ll face as a player. All of which pose as a challenge to the player which in turn makes this game exciting. It is like being a president of your own country, wherein all the problems of the people, economy and disaster are yours to hurdle.
