Personal review

SimCity is the first majorly popular simulation game, building on precursors such as Populous. The player must take control of a city or build his own from scratch, balancing new construction while funding public services to keep citizens happy. A number of natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, and radioactive monster attacks(!), can throw a wrench into the works. Upon its release on the SNES, a whole new segment of gamers was exposed to its complex yet addicting gameplay that PC gamers were already hooked on. A few changes were made for the console port, such as the addition of gifts from the community, changing seasons, new scenarios, and an advisor known as Dr. Wright.

Official description

Start with a fledgling town (you name it yourself) and build it into a metropolis. Or, take on the challenge of rescuing a city overwhelmed with problems. Either way, taxes, zoning, crime, transportation, education, fire control, and other critical issues are in your hands. Time is passing, and every decision you make has a future consequence. Your assistant, Dr. Wright, can help you make the right decisions. Just ask!
Surprise catastrophies also threaten your growing city--fire, earthquakes, airplane crashes, even a giant Koopa who has a nose for industrial pollution!
Will you build the ideal city? Or will disgruntled citizens leave you with a ghost town?
