  SimCity
       
           {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.
