    Great game and seriously addictive.

    By metabeau | Review Date: Dec 23, 2007 | SNES

    I first played SimCity on the SNES and ever since then I've always wanted to play it again. So now that I have got a Nintendo Wii I can play it for hours and hours. I find it very difficult to find anything wrong with it... Read Full Review

    The first Sim City will always be the best.

    By Fossil | Review Date: Sep 09, 2007 | SNES

    Don't you miss the old days when games just had that simplicity you don't find in any games these days? I mean honestly. Games are all about 40 different buttons to do 3,000 different things each just to maybe do one sim... Read Full Review

    A fun classic!

    By Redmarble | Review Date: Jun 12, 2007 | SNES

    I remember first playing this game over ten years ago, I didn't get the appeal, but I recently picked up a copy at an old Half-price store for $4, and I found myself playing for hours at a time. By today's gaming stan... Read Full Review

    Still has some of the charm I remembered, but doesn't hold up well enough to compete with other recent games.

    By superchunli | Review Date: Jun 08, 2007 | SNES

    I loved this game back in the day - I'd been reading for a while about Sim City on the PC, and was really anxious to try it. This version, with it's simplistic (relatively) inputs and Nintendo themed rewards (Mario Statu... Read Full Review

    Where it all started!

    By nurse_tsunami | Review Date: May 28, 2007 | PC

    This is the first "sim" title from Maxis (now EA) that set off a PC game revolution. Gameplay was highly addictive and I can remember playing hours on hours on my old IBM XT (old school). By today's standards... Read Full Review

    Sim City accomplishes its goal and makes for addictive play.

    By TechnologoDoom | Review Date: May 21, 2007 | SNES

    Sim City (SNES) accomplishes its goal by sticking to a simple and straightforward style of play. The results are hours of induced game time spent crafting dense cities with aesthetic sensibilities. If you're a first ... Read Full Review

    building donuts...

    By stAmbrosius | Review Date: Feb 20, 2007 | SNES

    This a great game. Sim City was always intended for personal computers, but it works surprisingly well on nintendo's 16-bit gamesmachine. As you probably know, the goal is to build a prosperous city. The game has three m... Read Full Review

    Difficult, Inferior, but Nostalgic

    By Tacofiasco | Review Date: Jan 03, 2007 | SNES

    1991 proved a fruitful year for many things including the introduction of a cute little powerhouse of game system that was the SNES. Super Mario World (being the flagship title that it was) may have ruled the roost as fa... Read Full Review

    The SNES version of SimCity arrives on Wii's Virtual Console and reminds us why the series are so successful

    By fft_ramza | Review Date: Nov 27, 2006 | SNES

    In the past Electronic Arts turned their back on Nintendo by not supporting their GCN and GBA/DS consoles like they did with the PS2 and XBX, however they appear to love Nintendo's new console as they have a wide lineup ... Read Full Review
