In 1990, Maxis made the first and legendary Simcity, a city construction simulator. Starting in 1900, no buildings exists and you have to create road, create industrial and residential zones, school, police stations and much more to make you city grow. Sometime you have to face natural disasters like a twister or a flood.

Electronic Arts just went and did the craziest thing. You can now go to the Maxis website and play the original SimCity for free online! Everything you need to play, like a guide & play instructions, are on the website.

In the free mode no goal is set, so the victory or the defeat does not exist. You may also play a scenario where you have a limited number of year to change the city. Several problems exist: high criminality, traffic jams, nuclear disaster or very high unemployment. The game was a big it and a lot of Sim games followed later on, though the second opus, sim city 2000, is seen as one of the best.
