The original SimCity not only started the popular series, but also laid many of the foundations of the genre. The game literally set new standards for city-building simulators. You can found your own settlement in different years, starting from the very beginning of the 20th century. Over time, new technologies become available, such as power plants.The game is a mixture of economic strategy and sandbox. As such, there is no plot in SimCity Classic. The user is invited to entertain himself as the mayor of a virtual settlement or to complete tasks invented by the developers. You can create your own metropolis from scratch or choose one of the real cities. In each, you need to achieve a certain goal. For example: the San Francisco scenario begins in 1906 and offers the user to rebuild everything after an earthquake (they will also let you watch the natural disaster itself).The gamer creates residential, commercial and industrial zones, and then establishes infrastructure around them. If the needs of residents are met, then residential buildings, stores and factories will begin to be built in these places accordingly. Later, the city will have to be divided into districts and quarters. To combat crime, police stations must be built. Also, do not forget about fire departments, schools and hospitals. Road construction plays an important role. The ever-increasing population needs to get to work. The mayor will have to deal with traffic jams, pollution, natural disasters and other situations. Incorrect decisions can lead to a shortage of funds in the city budget (it is replenished by taxes, the level of which can be regulated), power outages, etc. .
