Let's Play SimCity (1989) - A Quick Look - Episode 04
4Back in 1989, SimCity kickstarted not only the Simulation and City builder subgenres - it also showed that people were interested in doing more than arcade-reaction gaming or action-destruction plays. I dare claim empire and industry builders at the very least also owe SimCity their very existence for showing the potential of a true sandbox game.
Not that SimCity didn't also include some destructive tools; I'm sure Will Wright built sandcastles as a kid too, and few things are as satisfying as smashing your masterpiece to a pulp at the end of the day. :-p
This game is now abandonware, and the good people over at the Internet Archives have made it available to play in a browser dosbox, which is what I'm doing here - you can find the game at https://archive.org/details/msdos_SimCity_1989
Word of caution - this title is PC speaker audio only, so you might want to lower the volume before unleashing disasters. :-p
