SimTown

In the family of Maxis' sim games, SimTown is very little known. Back in 2004, when I first set up this page, if you searched for it on google, you got asked if you didn't mean SimTower instead.

Reviews

• A very enjoyable game for kids of all ages, Rich Cunningham says:

  It has much more to offer than is covered in this review, and that is one of the enjoyable aspects of this game…it offers enough variety to keep one entertained for many hours, yet has enough educational aspects to not be a waste of ones time. It has found a place in my children's software library, and will be enjoyed for years to come.

• Once again, Maxis have done a magnificent job of building a product that balances challenge against frustration, Home of the Underdogs says:

  SimTown is basically a kids' version of SimCity with complex features removed but fun intact. Althought it may look simple at first glance, the game is quite complex for the game's target age group of 6–10 years old. When kids succeed at managing their town, they can even take a peek inside each home to see how their Sims are spending their days, getting at the same time an appraisal of their work by the little folks? peace-of-mind status.

• Through the Glass Wall lists it among "computer games for mathematical empowerment."
