The “Mother” of all modern game simulators.
Enter SimCity and take control. Become the undisputed ruler of a sophisticated real-time City Simulation. Start with a virgin territory and create a living, growing city. The quality of life depends on you. Take control of San Francisco 1906, just before the great quake or Tokyo 1957, just before a monster attack. Show your pioneering spirit.

The Goal of SimCity

SimCity makes you the Mayor and City Planner of your home made Metropolis. Acting as Mayor, players must fight crime, unemployment and pollution, and balance the budget, to attract enough ”Sims” (simulated citizens) for a growing prosperous city. SimCity dares you to build your way, while surfing the waves of public opinion.

Build your city

When you create a city, a terrain is generated for you. Just use the various tools to add residential, commercial and industrial zones, roads, railways, parks, power plants and power lines, police stations, fire departments, stadiums, ports and airports. “Sims” (simulated citizens) will soon move in and make you city alive.

Get the big picture

At any time, you can get an overview of your city using the maps, one for each indicator: demographics, traffic, pollution, etc...

Balance the budget

As the Mayor, you have to decide of the tax rate and funding levels of the city services. But beware, every decision affects your citizen's life. Like humans, the “Sims” complain about taxes, mayors and city planners. If they get too unhappy, they move out; you collect excess taxes, the city deteriorates...

Check trends

As a city planner, keep an eye on your city graphs to better locate trends. Multiple graphs can be viewed at the same time using two different time scales.

See how you perform as a Mayor

Your “Sims” rate you continuously. Just have a look at your performance rating as a Mayor if you dare...
