SimCity Classic

Game Description

SimCity, also known as Micropolis or SimCity Classic, is a city-building simulation video game developed by Will Wright and released from 1989 to 1991 for a variety of platforms. SimCity has two-dimensional graphics and an overhead view. The goal of SimCity Classic is to build a city, develop residential and industrial areas, build infrastructure, and collect taxes to fund the future city development. Importance is placed on raising the population’s standard of living, maintaining a balance between different sectors, and monitoring the region’s environmental situation in order to keep the settlement from declining and going bankrupt.

SimCity was created independently by Will Wright in 1985 and did not see its first release until 1989. Because SimCity Classic lacked any of the arcade or action elements that dominated the video game market in the 1980s, video game publishers were hesitant to release it, until Broderbund agreed to distribute it. Although SimCity Classic sold poorly at first, positive feedback from the gaming press helped to boost sales. SimCity was released on several other platforms after becoming a best-seller, most notably the Super NES in 1991, where its gameplay was significantly improved with Nintendo’s involvement.

SimCity was a commercial success, selling 300,000 units for PCs and nearly 2 million units for the SNES. SimCity Classic was recognized as a new phenomenon in the gaming industry, and it challenged the widely held belief that computer games were primarily designed for children. Despite the lack of action elements, SimCity received critical acclaim for its innovative and addictive gameplay. SimCity Classic was deemed instructive and beneficial to the player’s understanding of the fundamentals of urban planning, politics, and economics by reviewers. SimCity has won numerous awards from various news organizations and associations. The success of SimCity signaled the beginning of the urban simulation video game genre, as well as Maxis’s tradition of producing non-linear simulation games, one of which – The Sims – would outsell all of its predecessors and become one of the best-selling franchises in the video game industry. It is widely regarded as one of the best video games ever created.
