Group Description
The SimCity series are the brainchild of
Will Wright, initially a map editor for
Raid on Bungeling Bay, his first game, but as he found out creating them was more fun the game itself, started to develop the program from a map editor towards a city simulator. The immense popularity gave starting company
Maxis a huge boost, and spawned
other variants with the Sim prefix, most notably
The Sims Series.
Trivia
Perspective
Contrary to popular belief, the graphical perspective of
SimCity 4 is actually trimetric rather than isometric, meaning none of the three visible sides of an object are equally viewable.
SimCity 2000 and
SimCity 3000 had dimetric perspectives, meaning the sides are equally visible, but the top is less visible. There has never been an isometric
SimCity.
