City Creators |

| In October of 1994, Maxis held a contest among SimCity 2000 users to create the best city they could come up with. | Cities of all kinds were submitted; some had immense populations; some looked like great places to live; and some just plain looked neat., Of the over 100 cities submitted we sat down with mouse in hand and picked what we thought were the best 20 or so., Here they are each with a little description written by each author about his city.[It should be known that the people responsible for judging these cities wish to remain anonymous but can be easily spotted by the pizza in their teeth] |
