SimCity, one of the most popular videogames of all time, is an open-ended city-building game designed by Will Wright and developed by Maxis.
Wright started to create the game in 1985 on a Commodore 64 but never completed it. When the Apple Macintosh and the Amiga computer became available, Wright started to work on a version for the 16-bit computers and finally completed it.
The first version was released in 1989 for the Macintosh and soon after for the Amiga. Later it was also ported to Commodore 64 and IBM PC. Over the years, it was converted and released for all available platforms.
