Yep -- This is the one that got me addicted to all of those Sim games...
OK, maybe it's doesn't live up to the in-depth graphics and scenarios that make the more recent Sims so great, but it's the simplicity that makes the SNES Simcity so ADDICTIVE!
Unlike the newer versions of SimCity, there's a lot less to juggle, which may make it a bit less challenging that SimCity 3 or 4, but allows you to be very creative and laid back.
Unlike the more recent versions of SimCity that allow you to customize your landscape, you're forced to pick pre-built tract of land. A nice bonus is when you complete the scenarioes, you can unlock a tract of land known as 'Freeland' which gives you all land and no water -- a must for those trying to build to a Megalopolis!
The music is almost hypnotic, but fortuneately, it changes with ever step your city takes (or can be turned off completely).
Probably the best quality of this game is the replay value. I've spend more time in front of the TV with this game than any other. Each time you feel that there's a whole new challenge awaiting in building a better, larger, more efficent city!
Overall, it may not be as glamorous as Simcity 3 or 4, but it's a far step UP from its original PC version! Super Nintendo fanatics -- this is a MUST have!
