Play SimCity

Zone, tax, build a stadium and watch it burn; the city builder that defined the genre.

Regions, terraforming and a traffic simulation people still argue with.

Salt the chips, water down the drinks and watch the queues; Bullfrog's management sim.

More scenery, a track designer and the version the community still builds in.

Build a house, fill eight need bars and steer a family through work and neighbours; the best-selling PC game.

Ageing, genetics and wants; the Sims sequel that gave them lives.

Build a park and lay a coaster track piece by piece; Chris Sawyer wrote almost all of it in assembly.

The parks go 3D and you can ride your own coaster from the front seat, at night, with fireworks.
