  SimCity
  
     <games> Maxis Software's simulation game which lets you
     design and build your own city, which must be administered
     well if it is to thrive.  Land must be zoned, transportation
     systems built, and police and fire protection provided.  Once
     you've zoned some land, and provided electrical power, the
     simulation takes over, and simcitizens move in.  If you
     perform your mayoral duties poorly, however, they will move
     out again.  If you don't provide enough police, crime will
     rise and sims will vote with their feet.  Try to save money on
     fire protection, and your city may burn to the ground.  There
     is no predefined way to win the game, building the largest
     city you can is just one possible strategy.
  
     SimCity runs on Archimedes, Amiga, Atari ST, IBM PC
     and Macintosh.  There was also a NeWS version for Sun
     SPARC workstations running OpenWindows.
  
     SimCity 2000 is an upgrade of SimCity.
