Clockwork Empires	Gaslamp Games	?	Linux compiles, runs, and we can't ship it because we're having trouble getting our hacked up clang compiler toolchain on Linux to link versus the right version of glibc that will actually work on everybody's distros. (AKA typical Linux @#$@$###.) More updates on this as Ryan puzzles it out. [Nicholas (Technology Director)]	Mac OS X

Quiet Console Town	author	?	Stop running around in RPGs looking for the towns, keeps, and dungeons that have the things you need; build your own place instead. QCT lets you create a place where adventures and merchants want to come, to buy and sell, rest and heal. Or, you can make places that appeal to the current evil fiend intent on conquering the world; attract all manor of monsters to your own dungeon. Or, play both sides, have a nice legitimate looking town above your deep dark dungeon.	Linux

SimCity	Maxis;Infogrames (Maxis)	1989	Enter SimCity and take control. Be the undisputed ruler of a sophisticated real-time City Simulation. Become the master of existing cities such as San Francisco, Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro or create your own dream city (or dream slum) from the ground up. Whether you take over an existing city or build your own, you are the Mayor and City Planner with complete authority. Your city is populated by Sims - Simulated Citizens. Like their human counterparts, they build houses, condos, churches, stores and factories. And, also like humans, they complain about things like taxes, mayors, taxes, city planners and taxes. If they get too unhappy they move out; you collect fewer taxes, the city deteriorates.* [161]This game was completed in 1985 (at Brøderbund) but having no real win state or lose state, Brøderbund and all major publishers (and many minor publishers) did not want to publish it. Maxis, a company with no games published at the time, agreed to publish it at the same time as their first game (so they debuted with two games). Maxis had initially turned it down as well. When Will Wright and Jeff Braun (from Maxis) met with Brøderbund to formally establish rights, Gary Carlston and Don Daglow actually played the game and were no longer disinterested. Brøderbund negotiated to become the distributor of the game. The game was always copyrighted by Will Wright but was developed with Brøderbund resources by a Brøderbund employee so implicit paperwork signed by Brøderbund was a good idea. Amiga and Macintosh versions were published first. The IBM PC version was next. And finally the original Commodore 64 version was published. [2]* [78]* [33]* [49]* [1]*The original SimCity.	C64

Glitchy in my emulator, hence the bad screenshot.*Practically identical to the SNES version other than having a reduced color pallet. It was never released because it was thought by Nintendo that it would decrease sales of the Super Nintendo. Wow, that's quite an endorsement! The prototype was featured in an article of Nintendo Power. Its worth noting that releasing the game now as a feature in a Wii game or as Virtual Console download would do very little to hinder Super Nintendo sales, it might even boost them. [Zerothis]	NES
SimCity	Nintendo (Intelligent Systems)	1991	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?* [32]Japanese version [32] [29]* [27]***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. [Jacquismo]	SNES

Caesar	Sierra (Impressions)	1992	The first in the strategy series set in the Roman Empire’s peak era starts off with you as ruler of a small province, although if you’re successful you will get tougher assignments. You must build the city, placing crucial features such as housing estates, roads, policing, water supply, social events and the like. You’re not restricted to one city – you can build another area, linked by roads, once you’ve got the first one running smoothly. You have slaves at your disposal to build and maintain everything. All this would be easy if you had an infinite supply of money, the civilians didn’t complain about anything, there was no threat of combat, and you didn’t have to keep the people above you happy. Needless to say, all of these problems crop up. Via the forums, you will get public opinions, which are affected by how high taxes are, and whether people feel they’re getting value for money. If they don’t they could riot;– what will you tell the Emperor if that happens? Barbarian threats are commonplace, so you need to maintain an army, and at times send it into battle. If you own Cohort II, you can fight the battles using that, but otherwise you just issue the orders then learn of the result.*** [37]	MS-DOS
