The Origin of SimCity

Will Wright's first game was a shoot em up, where you controlled a helicopter called 'Raid on Bungeling Bay'. The design of the levels inspired Wright to develop a city simulation, which he thought it closely resembled.

Eventually this resulted in the SimCity we all know and love! Which reminds me, I should really reinstall Simcity 4, while we wait for a proper SimCity 5!
