There are many sim games, I know than everybody know than there are many.
I need than you and I begin a SimGames Fan Club and talk about the sim games:
SimCopter, SimFarm, SimEarth, SimAnt...

Copter was great. In fact that goes down as one of my all-time faves. Shame it's probably ESA'd though.

I remember my first sim game being SimLife in which you had to control planets evolution, it was mediocre...

I used to have SimIsle - that was pretty awful really, a kind of forerunner to Tropico.

In the late 80s there were just two games that I would read their reviews over and over again and look at their screenshots. I just couldn't stop. Both of the great games.

The one was SimCity, never before I had such an obsession with buying a game after reading reviews and previews. What a great game!

The other is not a Sim line game thus no reason to mention it I guess.

SimLine? sounds a bit dull, it has to be said!

Funny funny guy! :bleh:

Anyone tried "Simutrans" ?

What do you think of it?

My favorite game from the series though is Simcity 3000...

Simfarm and Simcity had a big part of my playing time in the 90's. I played SC (2000, never owned the original one) over and over, building, filling the map until I couldn't build anything else, so I'd destroy regular blocks to build those wonders that could take up to 100'000. Marvellous towns totally destroyed, turned into buildings that resembled sharks :blink: But when I got tired of one town, I'd just build another.

Simfarm was a cool game too, but it annoyed me that after a while of having the whole place owned and farmed, the taxes were unbearable and made me lose the game. Done that a couple times until I gave it up.

SimCity 3000 was more complete than 2000, but I usually have more preference for the original, since the concept of the game comes from it, and how is initially meant to be (and after playing the 2000 to exhaustion, I didn't find 3000 to be so exciting). Same for Simcity 4, I borrowed it's cd to a friend a long time ago and so far I didn't miss playing it.

Other than that, I never understood simearth, simtunes or simpark.. Ants were fun for a while but not as good as Simcity. They managed to capture me again with The Sims. Played the original countless hours (maybe I can sue Maxis & EA for losing hours? :angel: oh wait, wrong topic).. Never managed to play the packs (lack of interest) even though I have them all burned somewhere.
