About

SimCity, designed by Will Wright and released by Maxis in February 1989 for the Macintosh and MS-DOS, pioneered the city-building simulation genre. Players zone residential, commercial, and industrial land, lay roads and power lines, and balance taxes against services -- with no win condition, only the city you choose to grow.Will Wright's Software ToyWright famously described SimCity as a software toy rather than a game: there is no scoring screen and no end state, just the open-ended challenge of nurturing a living settlement.The Maxis Mac EditionThe original black-and-white Macintosh release shipped alongside the MS-DOS version and helped establish Maxis as the home of non-linear simulation software. Later Color and Classic re-releases followed for System 7 era machines.Genre Defining InfluenceSimCity launched an entire lineage of Sim titles and inspired a generation of city builders, from SimEarth and SimAnt through later commercial and indie successors.
