41 – SimCity 2000
Sim City is to simulation games what Super Mario Bros is to side-scroller platformers: it didn’t invent the genre, but refined it enough to make it a success and set the foundations that define nowadays the genre. In that sense, SimCity 2000 is the equivalent of Super Mario Bros 3: it departs form the basics of it’s more rudimentary predecessor and evolved them to the next level, increasing its scope and appeal (Although SimCity 2000 is a probably a deeper evolution from the original than SMB3 from SMB). The result is hours of creating your own city, providing energy to your neighbors, avoiding the industrial decline of your city or fighting a terrible monster. A mayor’s life is though!
