Many cheap imitations of these games are around, amongst them are Caesar which is essentially a poor Civilization, and Moonbase which is a very poor Sim City. You start by establishing a new city and, with a combination of exploration, scientific research and development, and plain old war, you discover new lands, establish new cities and make new inventions to help you in your task. In Civilization you attempt to lead one small, unarmed tribe from the dawn of civilisation all the way into the space age, hopefully becoming the first to colonise a new planet. As you gain strength, an arsenal of special effects become available to you - earthquakes, floods, and so on - which you can unleash on the enemys people to help your own to victory. Raising and lowering land to enable your people to settle and breed, you gain power from your peoples worship. Tivo or three can justifiably be called classics: one is Populous, in which you really are a god, and, as such, responsible for a warlike people at odds with their neighbours who worship a different god. There have been any number of games released in which you get to lord it over the scumbags on-screen, controlling and toying with their destinies for your own amusement. Od games are so-called because the first time you see the f- number of icons splattered all over the screen you say: God. Informed opinion seems to think that this will all be sorted out in the near future, and that a bumper budget package will be released next year, containing at least some, and possibly all, of the above extras at a low, low price. Theres something of a dispute going on at the moment as to who owns the rights to Sim City, so its not the easiest game to get hold of in its original form.

These data disks arent available directly for the Windows version, although the installation routine does have a built-in facility to convert the DOS packs for use with the Windows version.

The original PC version has been given a smart and jazzy 256 colour upgrade and is now available as Sim City for Windows. In the Wild West More residential areas needed becomes More homesteads needed etcetera. The only (rather pathetic) difference is the way in-game messages are phrased: In Ancient Asia and Medieval times More industrial areas needed becomes 'Master (or Sire) we need more industrial areas. They dont add anything to the gameplay whatsoever (power cables being replaced by water pipes, etc.) and even as an attempt to introduce a different atmosphere theyre rather lacking, as the graphics arent at all evocative of the time theyre supposed to represent: multi storey sheriffs offices and Ancient Asian Police Departments are typical (and theyre still all priced in dollars). It has to be said that these arent exactly must-buys. There are packs containing Ancient Cities (Ancient Asia, Medieval Times and Wild West) and Future Cities (Future Europe, Future USA and Moon Base). The other data disks come in the form of additional Sim City Graphics sets. The Terrain Editor allows you, perhaps not surprisingly, to edit terrain, creating your own bizarre chunk of land which you will later ruin by overdeveloping. On the PC its had more than a few data disks released for it to add to your Sim Citying pleasure, although none of them alter the way the game is played in any way.

The original Sim City is available on just about every format you could possibly think of, from the SNES, Mac and PC to Arkwrights Spinning Jenny. I for one think the jump to this viewpoint was a great idea and it not only makes the game look better it actually helps add more depth to the gameplay too. It also means that you now have different elevations to deal with such as the pipes that are below the city. You may wonder what is the point in this, but it not only makes the game look better than the previous game. The original SimCity game had a top down viewpoint, but with SimCity 2000, they changed it up and we have an isometric point of view. You do have these more focused kind of scenarios to take part in too. So, while, just building your city, your way is great. These are actually based on real disasters and each one brings with it, its own kind of challenges and things for you to do. This sees you having to deal with a disaster and rebuild or take care of the city. There is a bit of a “story mode” to the game which is fun.

Making money is that actual goal of the game and you want to have a fully thriving city, full of people who are happy to be there and who are happy to be spending money, paying taxes and so on to keep the city growing and you rich. While building a city is, of course, the point of the game. So here we are in the future (well it was the future at the time the game came out) and you have one goal and that is to build a city.
