Don’t know exactly why but today I’m feeling a bit nostalgic.

One of my favorite games ever must surely be SimCity. And was also one of the first games I bought.

It was first released back in 1993 and at the time published by Maxis (now part of Electronic Arts). It’s one of the best (if not THE best) game by Will Wright.

For those who don’t know the game in Simcity you have to build a city and manage it. Simple, yet sometimes extremely hard. You have to pay attention to some important variables. Achieve the balance between the different kind of zones (commercial, residential and industrial) and supply all the necessary services for the city to work.

In addition to starting and growing your own you could also play the scenarios. In this game mode you became the mayor of an already existing city and had to solve some kind of problem. In some cities it was traffic, in others crime and one even had development issues that required your attention.

Don’t know exactly why I remembered this old game today, specially because I haven’t play it for a long time, but I did.

It was (and still is) very fun and sometimes I still play this game. And what about you?
