Sim City - A home fit for Spec-chums!

Sim City (Infogrames, 1990) I saved up and bought Sim City after reading Matt Bielby's brilliantly hilarious review of it in Your Sinclair (August 1990). He absolutely loved it!.... "It really is the bee's knees, and will appeal to just about anybody - even my dad thought it was 'Quite good, I suppose' and that's saying something!" As the Mayor, you must decide on a name for your brand new urban (mis)adventure ("Spectropolis"? "Kempstown"?), select the difficulty level (easy!), and away you go! "8bit-town"? Then, it's a matter of putting in the necessary infrastructure - power stations, power lines, roads, etc. - and zoning land for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes. A nice short commute to work from "R" to "I" There's lots to take care of - you'll be very busy managing the city's ever-dwindling bud...
