Official description

With SimCity, take the destiny of the world's greatest cities in hand. Build houses, streets, factories, airports, and a stadium. You will have to fight crime and pollution, collect taxes and balance you budget.

Everything is managed and animated in real time. Every decision influences instantly the life of your town. You will face crises, natural disasters (tornadoes, earthquakes, etc.), but - who knows - maybe on day you finally get the city of your dreams.

SimCity is an all-absorbing and unique game. It contains 8 pre-defined scenarios: e.g. SAN FRANCISCO, TOKYO, RIO DE JANEIRO... But, of course, you're free to plan your own city.
