If you've ever wanted to hear how #SimCity was built, this talk from Will Wright is excellent. The origins are not what you might expect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bCjollo4ng
Apparently, #PDX mayor Bud Clark reviewed the original #SimCity for PC/Computing magazine sometime in 1990.
It doesn't seem like he was a fan of some of the less realistic elements, like the ability to build a nuclear power plant wherever you'd like.
I haven't found the actual review yet...

Cities: Skylines 2 is 'roughly 5 times bigger' than the original | PC Gamer https://gthr.site/n26ps

Not gonna lie, I've been addicted to #citiesskylines recently. Gives me warm vibes of my #SimCity days as a kid.
this album gets a lot of flak 36 years later, still; as Miles Davis descending into MuZaK; BUT, having listened to several early albums, Tutu remains my favorite for its strong structured "American owned Japanese restaurant" vibe, which is relaxing, contemplative, and mysterious at the same time.
in conclusion, if you like #SimCity listen to this album in the background of doing literally anything

@weiming @isaaccp @futurebird @dynamic @nerd4cities as someone who studies human motivation and behavior change, this made me wonder whether simulating real cities w/ warts (parking lots) and all using #SimCity or other games could be used to help change voters’ support for zoning policy changes #GamesForChange #G4C #GamesForHealth

Ah, at last, Simcity 4 in full 3D...only this isn't a video game, this is real: a vista from last February, somewhere near El Matador Beach. To those who grew up in California I know it's normal, but to me it was uncanny in the best way.

Terrain - SimCity 4
I think this is one of my favourite video game songs. It starts off kind of eerie but then those drums come in and it just picks up so much energy

@electron_greg Now I like it. But as a kid I found that #SimCity Windows UI annoying. Same goes for #SimTower. I'd like to play SimTower again. Wondering if it runs on modern machines...
When's the last time you played #SimCity❓
Big thanks to @MossRC for the reminder about these official "Planning Commission Handbooks" that were missing from the library. 📚
All fixed!

so, #rts / #tycoon games with those #ui 's that cover one entire edge of the monitor. like #simcity 3000, or command & conquer.
how come they started switching from full-height vertical interfaces to full-width horizontal at right around the time wider screens became mainstream? like, we got more horizontal real estate so now we must use more of the vertical?
or am i remembering this wrong?
