Kudos to him sneaking in 2 reviews in 1!

I hope he does SimAnt at some point.

I remember this was the first game I got for my SNES (other than Super Mario World, of course). I have fond memories of Sim City on the SNES.

His timing could hardly be better, since this will probably benefit from chatter surrounding the Foldable Ideas video on him recently.

I'll wait for the Red Cow video.

My dad bought a SNES just after launch that “fell of a truck” and bought SimCity and Pilotwings with it. I basically grew up on that game, I still have it and still play it usually about 1 weekend a year.

It's basically the best version of Simcity one... Will Wright absolutely took a lot of the funner parts from the SNES version for Simcity 2000

Not a great episode to be honest. I think because it's a good game, so there was nothing for him to make jokes about really. And he started going for the Mario trophy but then just ... stopped?

I liked this episode as its always a nice change when he reviews a game that he actually likes and I'm a massive SimCity fanboy as well. (SimCity 4 for life mother f***ers)

Though with the whole 2 for 1 review deal, he could have reviewed the gimped SNES port of Simcity 2000.

That's what I came to say.  I never got Megalopolis either and wanted to see him get it, but it's like he made a big deal about getting the Mario statue, then just started a new game and played around with it for 5 minutes, then went into the scenarios to do the disasters.  I have a lot of nostalgia for this game so I was way more interested in the game than his theatrics.

I don't think he expressed it very well, but I think he just got sick of waiting and was sick of his "people" in the game bitching about everything, he decided to wreak havoc with natural disasters.

I never got a Megapolis either.... I think I made it to like 125,000 and just decided to blow it up. LOL

Seeing this reminds me of this Sheldon Cooper clip where during the meditation, he mentions Sim City and the city he made: Sheldonapolis.

Also have to give kudos to this Ep including a Classic Twilight Zone reference with the Nerd being obsessed with the people of his tiny town building him a statue
