The Sim universe was started by video game designer Will Wright with the creation of SimCity, first published on 1989-02-02, and has been expanded upon by dozens of titles. The series was published by Maxis until 1997 when, after several poor releases, the company was bought by Electronic Arts. The series saw a revitalization with The Sims and SimCity 4, but came under heavy scrutiny with the online-only 2013 release of SimCity which was fraught with technical failures.
Throughout the 1990s, I was a very big fan of the Sim series of games, as were many of my friends, and, together, we owned most of the titles. I stopped caring about the series by the late 1990s, and most of the The last Sim games I played were released in the early 1990s, and I stopped caring about the series in the mid-1990s, and SimTower was the last game I got really interested in. My favorite game from the series is the SNES port of SimCity, but my favorite original release is SimCity 2000.
