The Rise and Fall of SimCity - The History of the SimCity Franchise

Check out the Arcadology podcast! Available on iTunes or where all fine podcasts are sold: Please watch: “The History and Success of Resident Evil 1“ -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- The Rise and Fall of SimCity. A somber topic for many, considering the sour note that the series went out on. In today’s episode of Arcadology, we take a trip down memory lane with the history of SimCity. Starting back at the beginning, when the game was little more than a world editor for Will Wright’s first game The Raid on Bungeling Bay, to the present day with the game’s current status as an also-ran. Along the way we will take a look at each of the games in the SimCity franchise: SimCity Classic, SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000, SimCity 4, and SimCity 2013, with a brief mention of SimCity Societies. The video also covers how Will Wright and Jeff Braun met, and Maxis’s fall and sale to Electronic Arts. Arcadology will be covering a wide range of topics, from video game history, to discussions of the design of video games. If you are interested in that kind of content, please consider subscribing!
