SimCity 64

From SimCity

SimCity 64 is a city-building game for the Nintendo 64. The game was only released in Japan and requires a Nintendo 64 Disk Drive to play. Though SimCity 64 is based on SimCity 2000, it's not to be confused with the Nintendo 64 port of the game.

SimCity 64 has several advanced features that SimCity 2000 and even SimCity 3000 were missing. Most notable is that the game was done in 3D, making it the first 3D game in the franchise. Players could explore their city by foot, bus, train, or helicopter. Players could talk to their sims and play hide and seek with them for extra money. Using Mario Artist: Paint Studio, they could even import a custom sim.

However, the game was also plagued with problems. The game slowed down because of the strain the graphics put on the Nintendo 64's CPU and the graphics were unimpressive. That, coupled with the failure of the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, led to the unimpressive sales.
