Back in 1989 a unique game was released for various computers. The game was Sim City, a game where you are the mayor making all the decisions required to make a city. It was successful, but the version I hear most about is the SNES version. Sim City, believe it or not, was a launch title for the SNES back in 1991. Has this, primitive city game aged well, we will find out.

Gameplay B-: The gameplay is good, but not perfect. Fortunately all the problems that plague this game, are fixed in the sequels. So what problems are in this game. Well, the tax updates are slow, making financing difficult to track. Another problem is that you have a very limited amount of different things you can put in your city. If you have a traffic problem, the only thing you can add to fix it is railroads, and it just does not fix the problem as well as it should! Have a crime problem, add a police station, more like a MILLION! Also if there's a natural disaster, you can't really do anything to protect you city. Isn't this supposed to be a simulation game? I know I sound stupid for criticizing these issues, but hey its review I'm supposed to express myself! Just to let anyone know who's about to kill me right now. I do like most of the gameplay in this game. City building is very satisfying. I like the simple and easy to use UI (user interface.) Every thing you NEED (not everything you want.) Is easy to access. Today's Sim City games, require you to build your city building by building. This game makes that look completely useless. There are residential zones (neighborhoods), commercial zones (stores), and industrial zones (dirty, smelly, factories). You just put a zone down, and BAM! You got a little factory area, or neighborhood, or plaza. You only got 2 power plant choices. Coal, and nuclear. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Of course there's other things like services, roads, railroads, stadiums, etc. I'm not going to get into everything but what I'm saying is, is that the game not have a ton of options, but its still a ton of fun.  

Graphics B: The graphics might not impress you, but they do show the strength of the SNES'es palette, and fairly high resolution. Everything is quite detailed, and has a nice basic look.

Sound B+: Well you know its Super Nintendo music if its symphonic. Even this game has that. The music sounds good, but its a bit too slow for my taste. Still the sound does show what the SNES can do in terms of audio, and it can do A LOT.

Addictiveness A-: Building a city is very fun, and challenging. As long as you can plan well. You'll have no problem playing this game for hours on end.

Depth B: While there might be limited tools to build your city with. There are quite a bit of modes and maps to choose from. Theres practice mode, building mode, and scenario mode.

Excellent review here. Very well put on the...everything. lol I loved your approach and clarity on the subject. I first played Sim City 2000 (SNES) as a kid, then I played this. Obvious step backward, but I loved them both. I could elaborate, but you've already put it so well. Keep up the good work.
