What is your favorite Sim game?

[KWKBOX]

From SimCity to SimFarm to SimAnt there have been a lot of Sim games. Mine has been SimTower. Which one is your favorite?

Without a doubt it would have to be SimCity 2000.

Sims 2 and 3, unless these don't count, I'm not sure.

A let's play of a sim game?

Well I don't know what all that video has, not really in the mood for prattling as I have House on in the background, but I will put this here.

Favorite? Sim City (Classic) Windows (and DOS) as I've put the most time, effort, and total cities on it, yet I'll flat out admit I always play it on easy so I can get the larger starting cash.

Second to that, Sim City 2000 (Windows, SNES, then DOS...after that the GBA one of all things is respectable as a SC/SC2K hybrid since it removes the underground garbage I wasn't that big on anyway.) And after that again from Maxis -- Sim Tower. Did you know that one came out also as 'The Tower SP' on GBA and that it is truly excellent on there? I really need to get it back.

Beyond that, not much, I can't say much ever really did float by boat other than the first 2 Railroad Tycoon DOS, then Win9X/Dreamcast for #2.) I've tried to like other stuff but it has so many stupid canned unfun scenarios or garbage in them trying to do something cool to be different than those who set the standard they suck. I know it's a stretch but if the original Civilization would count as a civilization simulation of peace, conquering or exploration that would rate way high on this list.


Is there even a way to run Sim Tower Win95 anymore? I know the installer spits all over 64bit windows and fails hard to even attempt running. I will not run a virtual machine, too much of a pain in the ass to set up and a space waster. I wish someone would make a DOSBOX like WINBOX that you just clicked and it worked (and yes i know you can fire up Win95 or 3.11 in DOSBOX, but again requires hoops and the old OS's too.)

I would love it if EA would release a Maxis collection of all of the classic Sim games (City, Earth, Farm, Ant, Tower, Copter, Hospital) for $20 that would run on modern hardware.
