#83 SimTown (PC, 1995)


Eddv touched based on this game that was like a cross of SimCity and The Sims. Looking at some various screenshots is reminding me of some the specifics about this game. That may confuse you as to why this is on my list if I don't remember basic features, but let me tell you about young KCF.

As mentioned in previous games, I had an imagination and given an outlet could result in some beautiful and nightmarish things. What I loved to do in SimTown was just make massive road systems. Cars would just appear out of thin air, and man did they ever regret it. Most of my road systems were just plain hell. It was typically one giant, baffling accident/death trap. I would make every strip of road lead to an immediate intersection. You couldn't go more than five feet before hitting one, and with all of them bunched together with no street lights, stop signs or anything helpful to the driver, there were just traffic jams all around, and I was a monster laughing as I saw these events unfold in real time.

With nobody able to go anywhere, I forget if the cars disappeared after a period of inactivity. I also forget if I was required to place any buildings to spawn the cars, but I would just have a bunch of the sundae/banana split and clown hamburger fast food joints. Were these mysterious cars coming from out of town? Were they new residents?If so, did they live in their cars or take residence in the restuarants? So many questions that Maxis never thought they needed to answer.

Young KCF would not have been a benevolent god.
