Simsville Canceled

Posted by Hemos on from the nada-mas-sims dept.

Ant wrote to us with the story that Maxis announced today that Simsville has been canceled. It was originally supposed to be out in 2002 - but Maxis decided that "it wasn't up to the standards of Maxis" - but did also say the team did a good job, and was being reassigned to other products like the upcoming Sims Online. The original intent was to be a cross between The Sims and SimCity. Having had to play through some real stinkers of games before, I applaud Maxis decision to kill the product, rather then try to release it on an unsuspecting public CT Cry!

  1. Online simulation .. try simcountry.com by rigolo · · Score: 2, Informative
    For those that want to play a online simulation game, have a look at SimCountry

    You can choose to manage a country (think dictator) or become a bigshot CEO of a multi-national (sorry to say but microsoft is already active in the world, maybe AOL Time Warner is free?)

    It is still under development, so be aware that things might look strange from time to time. It is activly developed by 4 people at this time

    Currently they have 3 worlds active and around 6000 players. And they did not do a lot of advertising.

    If you are realy good at the game they even reward you with cash via PayPal.

    You can ready an interview with the creator of this game, Jossi Gil at Brassknuckles
