It shifts the simulation from abstract data-crunching to the visible, real-time interactions of thousands of individual Sims, cars, residences, businesses, factories, and everything else you might find in a city. Every decision is yours as your city gets. SimCity does that too, but with a drastically different method. Welcome, Mayor Be the hero of your very own city as you design and create a beautiful, bustling metropolis. Will Wright’s 1989 original and every Maxis-developed SimCity that came after are about the same thing: building and simulating cities. SimCity is the series’ greatest technical achievement.
After over a week of building, smashing, and rewiring SimCity’s machines to figure out how they work, they still surprise me. They churn through endless feedback loops, feeding Sims into swirling cause and effect eddies that produce money, goods, happiness, and growth.
At their greatest scale, SimCity’s cities are self-powering machines with hundreds of thousands of moving parts.
