Amazing- I had this game many years, and I liked it so much that I still play it a lot. It is a great value,especially for the price, and it is cool to design your own city and how it works! I also recommend buying Simcity 2000.That game is even better than this one!
A very nice version for Super Nintendo.

This should be a collector's item, because not only did they recreate Sim City for Super Nintendo, but they added some nice features to make it Nintendo's own game (like statues of Mario and Bowser as Godzilla). You are the newly elected mayor of a plot of dirt, which you must turn into a massive city with 1,000,000 "sims" (people). As the mayor, you must face issues like riots, traffic, polution, crime, and natural disasters like tornados, fires, floods and even Bowser coming to destroy your city!!! This is a pretty basic game, you make roads, make zones which grow to buildings and connect them all with power lines and a power plant.
sim effin' city.

If you still own a Super Nintendo that functions, and you are at all involved with the recent SimCity games for the PC, then this game is a must have. This is the one that started it all. Before SimCity, it was unprecedented to have a game that emulates real life. Not only was this a new genre of gaming, but opened up a new way of thinking in the video game industry. By getting this game you are doing your share in preserving video game history.
Okay, but Could Be Better...

I found this game to be inspiring, but it really doesn't cover all of the bases. The graphics are pretty good, and so is the sound. I just found that I would rather play this on the computer, rather than on the super Nintendo. It's not expensive, so you may want to try it, but I wouldn't exactly reccomend it.
more replay value than any other game out there

This is my favorite game out there. I find myself lost in it for hours that turn into days. This Sim City is much more user friendly than Sim City 2000. I found that game to be quite difficult after being spoiled to this one. It's all about building and maintaining your city as mayor. You can turn off the city disasters if you want, which is good. I hate spending alot of money on a project, and it ends up being hit by an airplane. If your own house gets destroy'd, I don't believe you get another so be careful. Traffic jams are my biggest problem, I can't seem to build enough road, but hey it's alot of fun trying. If your really into the game you may consider trying to get your hands on the million dollar cheat code.
Do you have what it takes?

First and foremost, the reviewer sitebender is a little off with his explination that achieving a population of 1,000,000 (1 million) Sims (people) is the ultimate goal. It's 500,000 (half a million) my friend. One million is simply impossible. Once you attain half a million Sims, you reach the Megalopis level, which is what sitebender was getting at, the utlimate goal of the game.
However, it's not the only goal. Your objective doesn't necessarily have to be obtaining a large population. Your game plan could be to have a population of a mere three thousand Sims with fifty football stadiums. Or maybe a city with no police stations, a crime driven city for mobsters and thugs to kick back. It could be anything! That's why this Super NES classic has such high replay value. In fact, over the years, I've found this to be the best Sim game every created, for PC and video game consoles alike. It's that damn fun.
There's so many magnetizing factors involved with this game, that it's almost impossible to put the controller down, especially if you're a first time Sim player.
Unlike other games that get beat and collect dust, Sim City for the Super NES will remain a fresh and heavily used video game. You can't exactly beat this game, because there's always a new challenge that awaits within. An excellent game. Sheer excellence. So as the mayor of Sim City, will you have what it takes to maintain the city you are in complete control of? You'll never know unless you try!
collector item possibly
