Sim City Opening Screen (SNES)

[TheScorpionMK37]

I honestly think Facebook ripped off sim city when they made cityville.

[CoffeeXVictorain]

OMG I FEEL SO YOUNG AGAIN!

I pushed the start button with my mouse and nothing happened!? lol

[Thekinggamelon]

1989 maxis and 1991 nintendo?

[superbob975]

@Thekinggamelon

the maxis part is from the first simcity. i think they got permission from maxis to make a snes version.

[Beafypotato]

never know Nintendo had 6 headquarters

[BlackKromun]

I wanna cry .....somebody bring me back to the 90's please !

[Pwn4ge3Productions]

@BlackKromun come to my house

ive 2 copies of this game

[xtremeboy91]

If there will be a Simcity Movie they should have this song in it.

[gameaddict51]

@xtremeboy91 How would a simcity movie make sense? Simcity has no story or ending. It's a completely open ended game series where you create everything yourself.

[Randomaited]

If you go cross eyed properly, the buildings are 3D! It's cool!

[VerninTheRat]

@Randomaited Ah shitchya!!!!

[isuraeru7]

i remember crying to this song and having my dad walk in. noticed i was teary eyed and beat the shit out of me. true story.

[studio41698]

The start of a beautiful lagacy

[SNESZombie]

Still makes my heart flutter.

[Aeonterbor]

I still have this :D

[GoupylBoX]

One of the best shitty game i play in my life^^

[daguru324]

Sample a bit from the ending to Purple Rain? Nonetheless, I dig em' both...

[GradiusMojo]

Has there ever been a more magical time in gaming?

[whrm3]

Playing Sim City 4 with this music=epic!

[Marcelelias1]

lol i have a SNES emulator for ps2 AND I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DEBUGGER MENU!!!!

[thul10]

Tottally nostalgic, i really miss this kind of game...it wasn't because we were young, but they are really good, so much better than the games from today....

I want my Snes back =/

[SabbraCadabra]

One of the first SNES games I ever bought. I played the ever living shit out of this game as a kid.

[FamilyguyKidy]

I Ment Memories

[FamilyguyKidy]

I Ment Mem

[FamilyguyKidy]

I LOVE THIS SONG It Reminds Me Of Will Wright And Sims Mwmories

[howiloggedin]

Anyone else got chills everywhere from hearing this?

[tweethang1]

(sniff) memories..... I miss snes D=

[FamilyguyKidy]

@tweethang1 me tooo

[tweethang1]

@FamilyguyKidy Let us cry together WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH D=

[Jason9811]

I wish Will Wright still made these games...he was the only good person who really enjoyed entertaining us with his mind.

[MIND4eva]

Does anyone know, where to get the tab for it?

[caricodi111]

this is what shanghai was like for me three years ago... fuck you haibao

[ShaunB182]

Though I'm sure most of us never made it past basic city (before having bowser stomp through the place) these were some of the happiest gaming hours of my life. While most other SNES games just wanted me to kill something, SimCity made me use my head... and I've never forgotten the feeling.

[Menevea]

I was always like 'awwwww....' everytime i saw the title. Such skylines in the dark are just awesome XD

[krazycalvin]

This song haunts my memories. sigh...

[lightninstriker10]

i could listen to this for hours...

[akraftw3rkorange]

this title screen use to make me weep. its so sad.

as if your entire life were just some simulacra.

[brian21792]

@akraftw3rkorange

wat

[mvrsolutions1]

Frank Sinatra was still alive... Seinfeld was on every Thursday... Clinton was fucking around... The girls were hotter and the sun was brighter...

-

I miss the 90's

[megatroll]

This music brings back memories of a time when video games used to be pieces of cultural expression. Every game was unique in its own sense and interpreted by developers as well as the community. Precious memories... Ironic how it still has that melancholic tone, as if it was a prediction for the future of gaming where it's all about profit.

[senjisen]

ノスタルジア過ぎるだろ

[Craidren]

Now its just a bunch of corporate fat asses making video games for cash, not to enlighten the player with true entertainment.

[Comeback209]

You mean Activision. EA has shaped up lately.

[mdavidandres]

@Craidren Its changed, but if you got ideas man, get into game developing

[Videodeathtyl]

@Craidren Love your comment. :)

[Joe402]

@Craidren

It's always been that way. lol nostalgia

[kescores]

@Craidren My good fella from youtube... Don't give up fait!

Of course, they need money to survive, but it's not like that! There are tons of good games from this crysis generation, you just have to look on the right place.

Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress, Nethack.... Lots of people do games cuz they like, and thanks to the internet, they don't need fukken publicity.

[Electricspaceodyssey]

@Craidren LOL, Maxis isn't - Maxis is -dead- ; EA bought maxis and helped them find new jobs outside of maxis and pretty much just uses maxis to release the sims/dark spore and spore games now - Dont blame maxis - Blame EA ; Only reason maxdis let themselves get bought out is because they were on the brink of bankruptcy.

[FamilyguyKidy]

@Electricspaceodyssey yup. ea was brought maxis. since i knew that i went OMG. I LOVE MAXIS BETTER THAN EA

[jebsievers]

@Craidren No kidding! Now gaming is designed to be an addiction. Kids believe their hyper-customized characters actually matter. They're immersed in high-production-value, single-player environments that give them instructions what to do. Tap OOO to get out of the jaws of a dinosaur, then you win a medal for it. What happened to innocent gaming that relaxed the mind, and just chilling w/ a can of coke? Or multiplayer gaming that wasn't stats-obsessed, but for the sake of fun and laughter?

[VerninTheRat]

@Craidren well put.

[Deathfromabove5]

@Craidren Call of duty being a good example

[Wuzzup222]

Hehehe, I never made it far in this game, ever. I just liked to build up a bunch and then have bowser and other shit destroy it :P Mind you I was 6 the last time I played, but still, it was fun. :D

[Normank666]

one of my favourite snes games spent hours and hours playing it but never made it to megalopolis! Always stuck in metropolis!

[MasterAsra]

Ahh... Nostalgia.

[NameInFlame]

Ahhhh nostalgia rush! :)

[TheRequiem677]

really just makes me want to live in that perfectopia world that only exists in the realms of maxis and will wright.

[Electricspaceodyssey]

unfortunatly that perfectopia is dead and sold out - ea has RUINED maxis and has even let a completely different COMPANY make the most recent 'sim city' game - it WASNT in ANY WAY/SHAPE or FORM made by or under any direction of maxis or will wright at all.

essentially - we will be lucky if we ever see another TRUE sim city ever again. EA bought it out and killed it.

R.i.P Sim City - also will wright announced in april 2009 he was LEAVING Maxis/Ea.

[drdos4]

Sim city ended at Sim City 3000 Unlimited IMO :/ I'll miss the good ol' days. I never really cared for Sim City 4 or Societies. It got a tad too complicated.

[Electricspaceodyssey]

IMO The "Real" Maxis games have Heart and Emotion + Feeling in them + in how they were made- (sorta like how home made is better than store bought) - i feel like sc3000 was the last one to have that maxis feel. after that sc4 was a lot less meaningful and such - almost like it was made more for the marketplace than for the player. complicationwise - it wasn't to bad outside of the fact going bankrupt was a hell of a lot easier in sc4 for some reason - outside of that it seemed more plastic.

[KaiXi333]

Oh shush... Stop complaining about EA!

Sim City 4 was a FANTASTIC game when properly modified and rigged. People are still creating stuff with it AFTER SIX YEARS.

Although Will Wright won't make any more city simulators, he inspired a GENERATION of citybuilding games and simulations in general.

We'll stand on his shoulders in the next generation...

New citybuilding games are already coming out... Don't be so damn glum!

[Simcity123c]

@KaiXi333 same i dnt complain ea. IM A WORKER OF EA. Man. Will Wright Last Game Was Spore. He Stopped Making Spore Expansion Packs Before Leaving Stupid Fun CLub.

[vous1tube]

I can't believe its been about 20 years since this game has come out. This is one of the first SNES games I owned. Man, I feel old now.

[rattlehead1999]

No fuckin doubt man. I remember getting my SNES on Christmas 1991, and borriwing this game from the guy down the street. 18 years already..Christ! No better time in gaming however, then the 16 bit era . Especially as it came to a close with games like Chrono Trigger, DKC2, FF3, so we're rocking these amazing games and having our minds blown by the incoming Sega Saturn and Playstation. 1994-1996, what a time Itll NEVER be the same in gaming.

[jebsievers]

[layaluva]

this was the first video game i ever played. i was four n i had no idea of what to do(lol), but i DID love the music! where does the time go, huh?  I miss it <3

[spsheets58]

i had a dream i played this game once. i like the new simcities. but still it'd be cool to play this.

[Adolf41er]

that was my childhood! woho.. played it for hours with my best friend ! :')

[jonathanH37919]

Really enjoyed SimCity on the SNES.

Many hours of fun.

[Galakazoo]

I love this game, I loved this game, and I plan on loving it into the forseeable future.

I recently downloaded the game from VC, and I sometimes sit on the title screen thinking back...

in other words, a very nostalgic peice.

[Thalliumol]

i want my childhood back

[miv333]

I loved this game, I still play it sometimes.

[mightymax1983]

man this game gives me chills down my spine. this was my life at one point in time.

[secretofevermore12]

COOL CITY MAN !

[Bo898]

YES, it makes us all HELLS REMEMBER hOw FUCKIN DANK THE olD dAYS chilled

[reniisgod]

Quite simply epic...a slice of my childhood right here. Where the hell does time go

[fghghhg93]

i remember this 16 years ago

[juliohamu]

jogo que mais marcou minha infância!

adorava ligar meu snes e jogar esse fantastico jogo, lembro que competia com meus vizinhos quem tinha a melhor cidade! bons tempos que a unica preocupação era se divertir! ahh saudade...

[moonrider0]

this song,,, hmm.... is so nostalgic for me... maybe because i spent half of my childhood playing games like this one.. and sim city makes me remenber the time that i just didn't think in things that i have to do, problems with work.. stress... ohh... a time that will never come back again...

[dedwArzZ]

My god, what you say is so true ;) I totally can relate to you.

[jcarlson09]

i just downloaded this game on the virtual console.

[Megasonic55]

the only Sim I will probably ever play.

[ThisIsEDX]

Best Version of Simcity by far.

[sturdy3690]

ahh memories

[DannySNTV]

Excellent soundtrack & game.

One of the best titles for the Super NES.

[GoodGamesrlikemovies]

[dafrandle]
